While criticising the Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M Lakshmana on Wednesday raised questions over the future of various infrastructure projects in and around Mysuru including the new railway terminal proposed to be set up at Naganahalli and the expansion of the runway at the Mysuru airport.
Addressing a press conference here, Mr Lakshmana said no allocations have been made for the already announced airport runway project and the railway projects including the new Mysuru-Kushalnagar railway line project in the Union Budget.
He also sought to know the future of the Textile Park announced by the government more than five years ago, but had made little progress. Mr. Lakshmana regretted that there has been no announcement in the Budgetary proposals even to bail out the tourism sector, which had been badly hit by COVID-19. Mysuru is a tourist destination and the economy of the district depended on tourism to a large extent.
