I want to suggest a Railway link between Tumkur with Hindupur, both falling in the south westren Rail zone. This will help everyone in west & southwest regions to reach Puttaparthy which is a place to go for many people. This will also provide connectivity to Hyderabad and into Andhra pradesh , without going through Bangalore, it and cost a distrance of 60 km in the travel plus, transit time at Bangalore.

New line between tumkur to Hindupur
I will be very happy if this is considered for acceptance. If one closely observe, the railway map, people from westren parts of Karnataka, cannot reach to the Puttaparthy, which is an attraction for many. Even the proposed linking Rayadurg with Tumkur will not join the parallel like line - Yeswantpur - yelahanka - Hindupur - Penukonda - Dharmavaram. . Hence the proposal to link Tumkut with Penukonda. There could be direct trains to puttaparthy and later to tirupathy via puttaparthy.
If one observe the railway map, the point made here can be appreciated.
