The Dasara celebrations in Karnataka’s Mysuru are set to begin. This year, a large crowd is expected to visit the city with revelry being witnessed minus the Covid curbs. To cater to the huge crowd, Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya has urged the railway ministry for special services to Mysuru.
On Saturday, the minister penned a letter to union railway minister Darshana Jardosh in which he wrote: “On account of the Dasara festival, South Western Railway has announced special trains to Mysuru from Bengaluru. More such special services must be extended from Bengaluru to Hubbali, Belagavi, Kalburagi, and Vijayapura to ensure ease of travel for passengers.”
Tejasvi Surya also asked the union government to consider developing a high-speed rail corridor connecting Bengaluru and Hubbali. “Hubbai has emerged as a growth centre in Karnataka supporting Bengaluru. A high speed rail connection between the cities will facilitate the travel of a large number of commuters including businessmen, officials and daily wage labourers” wrote the BJP Bengaluru South minister.
