Sumalatha Ambareesh, Mandya MP, met the Minister of State for Railways Ms. Darshana Jardosh and sought early implementation of a few railway projects critical for Mandya.
The MP met the minister in Bengaluru on Friday and discussed at length the early implementation of the Hejjala-Chamarajanagar railway line which is pending since many years.
The project is in the cold burner ever since it was announced and no efforts were made to implement it given the land acquisition issues. The railway line is expected to connect Malavalli and Kollegal with Bengaluru while providing an alternative route from Chamarajanagar to Bengaluru bypassing Mysuru.
