Bengaluru: Activists and citizen groups have suggested the South-Western Railway (SWR) authorities to add more suburban trains in Bengaluru.
The activists are opposing six interconnected elevated corridors proposed in the recent budget by Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy.
The activists are now launching a campaign, ‘Rail Yatra’, on August 31 against SWR and are discussing it on #ModaluTrainBeku (give us trains first) on social media.
“Many people, including IT employees from Whitefield area, are part of the campaign and they are taking a day off from work that day to take part in the protest.
The protestors claim that the government is ignorant of rail services and no effort has been made to develop railway stations at Bellandur, Carmelaram or Kengeri. The authorities should improve the suburban railway system to ease traffic on city’s roads,” said Tara Krishnaswamy, who is part of the campaign.
