The progress of the Hubballi-Ankole line project has come under question mark due to delay in getting the required clearances in the Western Ghats region.
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said that it is nearly impossible to carry out the project since the environment and forest clearances are not being provided easily. Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy met Goyal on Thursday.
This project has been aimed at boosting the economic activities in the backward regions of the state. This will be the first time a gateway will be established from the northern part of the state to the coast.
If implemented, the project will need two lakh trees to be chopped. The 168.28 km long project as it stands will also pass through elephant and tiger corridors.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
