New Delhi: Here is some good news for Green Groups and residents of Kodagu as the Union government has not mentioned anything in the 2018-2019 Budget about the controversial Thalassery-Mysuru Railway Line via Manandavadi and South Kodagu. But environmental groups are not in any way relenting from the protests against the Railway line that will spell a doom for the ecologically-sensitive Kodagu and its water sources.
The Railway line did not feature in the combined Union Budget and Railway Budget that was presented by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in the Parliament yesterday. Earlier reports, especially from Kerala, said that expectations were running high for the newly-proposed Thalassery-Mysuru Railway ahead of the presentation of the Budget.
