Sir,
This refers to the recent news item that the cost of Rail Line between Mysuru-Belagola and then on to Kushalnagar has entered the “pink book”. This would mean that it is practically ready for execution. Considering that Railways are building a huge office in Madikeri, it is clear that their immediate aim is to build a Railway Line from Kushalnagar to Madikeri and then ultimately on to B.C. Road down the Ghat to connect the line to Mangaluru. Do the Railways have the approval of the Ministry of Environment? I doubt it.
