BJP lawmaker PC Mohan on Thursday met Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and sought early approval of the long-pending Rs 17,000 crore suburban rail project for Bengaluru city.
The B S Yediyurappa government in Karnataka has submitted a revised detailed project report (DPR) that proposes around 55-odd suburban railway stations covering a distance of about 150 km.
"The project is pending for last two years. The DPR sent by the previous JD(S)-Congress coalition government had shortcomings," Mohan, who represents the Bengaluru Central Parliamentary constituency, told reporters after meeting the Union minister.
He said, "The current government has submitted a revised DPR and hopefully it should be cleared in the forthcoming Railway Board meeting on Monday."
