DEMAND FOR EARLY COMPLETION OF CUDDAPAH-BANGALORE
RAILWAY LINE
The Cuddapah- Bangalore new railway line is one of
the South Central Railway's largest projects and the foundation stone for the
project has been laid at the Cuddapah Railway Station. The new line will reduce
the distance
considerably between Cuddapah and Bangalore. It has the potential
to boost the economy and generate employment in the region. The
Cuddapah-Bangalore railway line once completed will shorten the distance by 226
kms. as compared to the route via Renigunta and will also provide a shorter
alternative route between north India and Bangalore.
The project involves an investment of Rs. 2,000
crores, which the Central Government and the States of Andhra Pradesh and
Karnataka have agree to bear on a 50:50 basis.
In view of the benefits that are likely to accrue
to the people of the region and the economy from the new railway line between
Cuddapah and Bangalore, I urge upon the hon. Minister of Railways to take
interest in the railway line and ensure that the line is completed at the
earliest. Thank you.
