Mysore/Mysuru: With the ambitious Naganahalli Satellite Terminal — at an estimated capital expenditure of Rs. 789 crore — becoming a quagmire over land acquisition and budgetary constraints, the South Western Railway (SWR) is looking at expanding the congested Mysuru City Railway Station and there is a proposal to utilise the space at present occupied by staff quarters.
These staff quarters have been built on the land owned by the Railways and if the proposal is accepted by the Railway Board, over 350 staff quarters beginning near the CFTRI Gate railway station entrance from Vani Vilas Water Works on KRS Road till the A. Ramanna Circle (Railway Colony) will be demolished. Before that, the 350 families that are presently living there will have to be relocated.
