'Allotment of land delayed for circular rail project'

“The project will be taken up on priority. But the state government has not responded to the Railway’s plea seeking allotment of land for the project,” the minister said here on Sunday. He was speaking to reporters after inaugurating the remodelled Whitefield Railway Station.

Muniyappa said there needs to be better co-ordination among the BBMP, the State government and the Railways to upgrade more stations. The Whitefield station has been remodelled at a cost of Rs 85.40 lakh. South Western Railway Divisional Manager Sudhanshu Mani said at least 5,000 people travel from the station every day.
