Railways in Karnataka - Game for a Vision Plan

1. Goal - VISION PLAN for RAILWAYS in KARNATAKA

After every year when the railway budget is presented in Parliament, we hear the cries of injustice to Karnataka and usual political rhetoric sans any data or facts. After a week or so these voices are lost for ever. Not to say that Karnataka has good railway infrastructure. Even cursory look at the railway websites would point to the fact that Karnataka lacks a good railway infrastructure. It is time the ordinary citizens take cognizant of this grave need and voice it to the planners to include the plans to fill the existing and glaring gaps in railway infrastructure.
