One user recalled that his daughter once wrote to the President of India about late-night noise pollution in Mumbai. He stated that it led to follow-ups by the police months later.
On Sunday, PM Modi launched two major infrastructure projects: the Yellow Line and the Bengaluru–Belagavi Vande Bharat Express. With the Yellow Line operationalised, the Bengaluru Metro now has the second-largest metro network in India after Delhi.
