Mysuru: The highly-essential Satellite Terminal Railway Station for Mysuru at Naganahalli will soon be a reality as the Union government has approved the project in its recently presented Budget 2018-19. The estimated project cost is Rs.789.29 crore. The proposal was mooted by Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha, who submitted it to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal. After having a series of discussion with the Minister, the MP has been successful in sanctioning the amount for the project that will greatly help in decongesting the Mysuru Railway Station. Once the Naganahalli terminal station becomes a reality, there will be more scope for additional trains to come to Mysuru, especially from Bengaluru. Although the work on doubling the Railway track between Bengaluru and Mysuru has been completed, the complaint from the passengers is that there are no additional trains though the journey speed has increased by around five minutes.
