Title: Need to lay new rail line between Jolarpettai and Hosur via Bargun and Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu- Laid.
SHRI V. VETRISELVAN (KRISHNAGIRI) : Time and again for the past so many decades there has been a demand for a new railway route between Jolarpettai and Hosur via Bargur and Krishnagiri. All the Members of Parliament elected from Krishnagiri constituency had made so many representations but in vain.
Even though there are ample avenue for the expected level of revenue from this area for this new project, the Government have turned a deaf ear to the repeated requests and representations. Even in the survey conducted recently for this project was poor and the data collected was ambiguous.
It was a great shock that when we expected for Minister’s announcement for this project during the Budget session, there was betrayal again. But when I placed before the Minister the facts comprising the available potentialities and the expected revenue, he had agreed in principle to consider my request for laying of the new railway route between Jolarpettai and Hosur via Bargur and Krishnagiri and to allot necessary funds for it, but so far the work is not taken up and the people of this area are very much angry and unhappy over this. I urge upon the Government to take necessary action in this regard.
