Mysuru: Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha met Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy in Bengaluru this morning and requested him not to bow to pressures from the Kerala Government regarding the proposed Thalassery-Mysuru Railway line that will pass through lush green forests in South Kodagu.
In a letter to Kumaraswamy, Pratap Simha said that it was clear that by pushing the environmentally-destructive project, the Kerala Government was aiming at destroying the land and eco-space of Kodagu. The project will destroy over two lakh trees and will pass through 65 kilometres of green belt in Kodagu, he said.
