The PMK Tuesday said due to its sustained effort, the Centre has given its approval for a new railway line between Morappur and Dharmapuri in Tamil Nadu at an estimated cost of Rs 358.95 crore.
The 36 km long new line will cut down travel distance by 81 km and link Dharmapuri with Chennai and fulfill the over seven decades dream of the people, the party said.
"The 78 year dream of people has been fulfilled, a new railway line between Dharmapuri and Morappur for a distance of 36 km will be built," PMK leader and Dharmapuri Lok Sabha MP Anbumani Ramadoss said.
Releasing a letter, dated February 4, 2019, addressed to him by Railway Minister Piyush Goyal informing him of the sanction for the new line, Anbumani said it was due to his sustained effort and "pressure."
