Newskarnataka-Bangalore
Bangalore : A longstanding demand of the coffee land Chikmagalur would be fulfilled when the Kadur-Chikmagalur railway line will be dedicated to the nation on November 19. There are possibilities of Congress President Sonia Gandhi arriving for the inaugural of the railway line. However, there is no confirmation as to yet.
The people of Chikmagalur have been demanding a railway link since decades. Even the experimental movement of trains on the route last week was a success. Railway Safety Commissioner SK Mittal and other officials had conducted a survey of the route and had given their green signal for the movement of trains.
Meanwhile, Udupi-Chikmagalur MP Jayaprakash Hegde said that appeal would also be made to take up Sakleshpur-Chikmagalur project which, he said would benefit even the trade and industry circle.
