> Title: Need to implement the proposed Kengri-Kankapura-Chamarajanagar railway line project in Chamarajanagar Parliamentary Constituency, Karntaka.
SHRI R. DHRUVANARAYANA (CHAMRAJANAGAR): I would like to bring to your kind attention that there is a lot of demand to lay a new railway line connecting Chamarajanagar to Bangalore via Kollegal, Malavalli and Kanakapura. This line will provide an opportunity to the people of this region to reach the State Capital to sell their agricultural produce and for better educational and medical facilities. In this regard, I would like to recall here that I earnestly appealed to the Hon'ble Railway Minister on 20.10.2011 when he visited Bangalore to release the funds to implement the new announced railway line project. There is lot of scope for tremendous development of the Chamarajanagar area, if the project is taken up.
I, therefore, request the Hon'ble Minister for Railways, to kindly release the funds as a one time payment in the remaining XIth Five Year Plan period to implement the proposed Kengeri-Kanakapura-Chamarajanagar Railway Line Project to facilitate the people of my Parliamentary Constituency, who will commute daily in this route for various purposes.
