Mysuru: Here is some bad news for all those who are opposing Railway lines to Kodagu that is bound to cause extensive damage to the fragile ecosystem that is already bearing the brunt of incessant rains due to lack of tree cover. The South Western Railway has completed the preliminary survey of the proposed Mysuru-Kushalnagar Railway line project.
The survey report has been submitted to the Railway Department and the project will cost about Rs. 2,600 crore, said Divisional Railway Manager Aparna Garg. She was speaking to reporters at a press conference held at her office yesterday where the new train timetable was launched. She added that the survey excludes Kodagu district.
