RAHUL URGES
CENTRE TO EXPEDITE RAIL PROJECT
'Lack of clarity
on status unacceptable'
STAFF REPORTER

Rahul Gandhi, MP, has urged Railway Minister
Ashwini Vaishnaw to expedite steps for the execution
of the Nilambur-Nanjangud-Mysore railway project.
In a letter to Mr. Vaishnaw, Mr. Gandhi said the
project was included in the Capital Investment Programme 2016-2017. Subsequently, the State government entrusted Kerala Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation
Limited (KRDCL), a joint venture
of the State government and the Ministry of Railways, with the implementation of the project.
Maintaining that the people of Wayanad had been waging a protracted battle
against the delay in the execution of the project, Mr. Gandhi said he had
raised the matter in Parliament and written to the Ministry of Railways. The
lack of clarity on the status of the project has led to widespread anger, he said, adding that limited railway
connectivity coupled with night
traffic ban by the Karnataka government on NH-766 had adversely affected mobility
in his constituency.
Once the project materialises, it will significantly bring down travel time between
Bengaluru and Thiruvananthapuram. Besides, it has the potential to enhance livelihood opportunities in the region, Mr. Gandhi said.
