Madikeri: The proposed construction of a Guest House by South- Western Railway at Stuart Hill in Madikeri has received stiff opposition from all quarters. While environmentalists have questioned the necessity of such an office when the people are up in arms against Railway projects in ecologically sensitive Kodagu, Former Minister M.C. Nanaiah has written to Kodagu Deputy Commissioner demanding immediate stalling of construction.
The works on constructing the building that belongs to National Railway Development Project is being carried out at a brisk pace at Stuart Hill and one acre of land has been acquired for the purpose. The place has been excavated and pillars are being constructed. Nanaiah has demanded the District Administration to take the possession and conserve of the land.
