Mysuru: Despite severe opposition from residents of Kodagu and Mysuru, elected representatives and environmentalists, the Government of Kerala is getting ready to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Thalassery-Mysuru Railway line that will pass through lush green forests in South Kodagu.
The line is among the ‘prioritised’ projects of Kerala. Certain reputed firms, including a couple of them from foreign countries, have expressed keen interest in preparing the DPR for the Kerala Government and their bids will be opened on June 30 (tomorrow). The railway line from Thalassery via Manandavadi, Kutta, Kanoor, Balele, Thithimathi and Anechowkur to Mysuru has a length of 181 kms and the estimated project cost is Rs. 5000.03 crore.
