India, Nov. 5 -- The execution of Bengaluru's ambitious suburban railway project has hit a fresh roadblock after major contractor Larsen & Toubro (L&T) withdrew from contracts for key corridors, prompting the implementing agency Rail Infrastructure Development Company (Karnataka) Ltd (K-RIDE) to invite fresh tenders for Corridor-2 (Mallige Line) to complete the remaining civil works.

In a statement on Tuesday, K-RIDE said the move followed the "unilateral and illegal" termination of the contracts by L&T.
