As the report on Nelamangala station here

Yet to train their sights on Nelamangala rail line

The Nelamangala Railway Station can be considered a classic example of how a public utility, worth crores of rupees, has remained idle for four years. The railway ministry had allocated funds for laying the rail lines and construction of the railway station at Nelamangala. The objective was to provide succour for thousands of commuters who have been struggling to commute between Nelamangala and Bangalore.

MV Nagaraju, Nelamangala MLA, said that he wrote three letters to KH Muniyappa, minister of state for railways, to take measures for the inauguration of train service between Nelamangala and Bangalore, but in vain. “I had also reminded Muniyappa about the need to inaugurate the railway station. He had promised to look into the matter but nothing has happened till now,’’ said Nagaraju.
However, the railway authorities have included the train service in the list of train services listed at the City Railway Station. As per the board, the train will depart from Bangalore every day at 4pm. The board also indicates that the train service is yet to be started thus creating confusion among the railway passengers.

Meanwhile, Sudhansu Mani, divisional railway manager, South Western Railway, has said arrangements have been made to introduce a train service. “We are waiting for the green signal from commissioner of railway safety. We will introduce the train service as soon as we receive the safety certificate from the commissioner of railway safety,’’ said Mani.

The above move  of DEMu rake for YH-1   may be linked to opening of the Nelamangala track which was promised by MoS K H Muniyappa during few weeks back in Vidhansoudha.

Finally some good news for pedestrians and motorists going to Yelahanka from the Bellary road. The Railways will soon begin the construction of an overbridge in order to ease traffic bottleneck near railway gate at Allalasandra.

The work is likely to begin on July 30, though there is no official confirmation yet from the Railways in this regard. It was scheduled to begin a year ago, but was delayed because of the `680-crore elevated expressway project work was under progress.
 

Additional commissioner of police (traffic) MA Saleem said, "The road passing through Allalasandra railway gate will be closed for next nine months. People will have to take the alternate routes suggested by us." A traffic policemen blamed the concerned authorities for not putting sign boards of alternative routes. If they change routes suddenly, residents will get confused, he added.
