Title : Construction of Tumkur-Konegal-Maddur-Mysore railway line.
SHRI S. MALLIKARJUNIAH :Mr Deputy Speaker Sir, a new railway line between Maddur and Tumkur via Kestur, Huliyur durga, Hebbur, Nagavalli, Honnuduke cross, Gulur has to be laid immediately as the traffic on this route is going out of control. The heavy road traffic is causing accidents more frequently. The people of this entire area are demanding for this new railway line for a very long time. this railway line will be more convenient to the passengers travelling towards Shira, Hiruyur, Davanagere and Chitradurga. This direct route will not only save the money and time of the passengers. This new railway line will enable the entire area to flourish in its business activities.
I am making this demand repeatedly and urging the Union Government to take up the construction work of this new railway line. In fact, hon. Members of Parliament Shri Suddeshwara and Shri Hanumanthappa from Davanagere and Chitradurga constituencies respectively have made this demand earlier. The people of this area are expecting that this long pending railway construction will get the green signal from the hon. Railway Minister Shri Lalu Prasad Yadav.
* English translation of the speech originally delivered in Kannada.
I hope that Centre would respond to our demand positively and start the construction of the above mentioned railway line. I thank you Sir and with these words I conclude my speech.
