With last Five years,  GOK progressing on snail speed expecting other will do their work on Bangalore Suburban Rail inspite of having  Three Railway Minister from Bangalore / Karnataka,   not even single meeting organsied between  Railway  Minister and CM of Karnataka.

Now CSTM ( VT of Mumbai ) to Panvel getting suburban rail corridor thru PPP mode with investment of  Rs 14,000 Crore.

GOK  and SWR have no intention to provide good Suburban Rail in Bangalore looking back for the past 6 years development.

GOK could not get time or forgotten to  write reminder  letter to Railway Board after 27.10.2013  letter from Chief Sec to Railway Board.    So till now Railway Board has no courtesy to reply to GOK letter even after one year lapsed.

Both GOK and Indian Railway might have decided  Let us see how people of Bangalore can enjoy the Suburban Rail when ourslves have decided not happen ???

Thats reason,  we have one  more Comittee on Decongesting Bangalore Traffic under PWD Minister who does not know  about Bangalore Suburban Rail.

Same time Ministry of Railway  could not find time to sit with GOK and discuss the further plan of action,  but wants to do their own study on Suburban Rail Bangalore.

This is best case stuidy how

1.  GOK offficials ensuring project does not come thru, 

2. Railway Officials keep proud of their inefficient Railway Infrastructure in Bangalore, 

3. Elected Representative from Bangalore who do not have say in Railways keep promising to get Fullfledge Suburban Rail for Bangalore for THREE DECADEs. 

4.  When Metro Ph-2  approval came in Three years with project cost of Rs 26,000 Crore,  Bangalore Suburban  Rail  stil does not how to  please these people to get the approval.

Recently 2012-13,  Ministry of  Railway had approved extending capacity to 12 coach Suburban Rail in Mumbai fro 9 at the cost of  Rs 714 Crore

Now sae corridor has been selected for PPP but Bangalore does not figure  in any approval,  will CM of GOK and  MPs / MLAs are answerable for this ???

Good to see corporates coming forward on taking up railway stations development and last 10 yrs South Western Railway slept  on not doing doubling of Baiyyappaahhali - Heelalige - Hosur Railway line  and now aking stateent of congested does not  show any professionalisam.

Let the first create crossing station at Belandur which will help Railways to run  more trains. This is where Industry bodies need to take up strongly with Raiwlay Minister
