Mysuru: The Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) will inspect the only remaining stretch of the second railway line between Mysuru and Bengaluru near Srirangapatna by the end of October, paving way for the complete electrification of the route. Railway sources said that the CRS visit will happen anywhere between Oct. 23 and 28.
Electrification of the double track between Mysuru and Bengaluru has been completed but for the 1.5 kilometres at Srirangapatna due to the 228-year-old and 1,050-tonne Tipu Armoury at Srirangapatna. Now that the historical structure has been shifted, the electrification will be completed soon, Railway officials said.
