Intercity Metro Rail line between DK, Udupi: State government asks BMRCL to prepare master plan
Mangaluru: With the aim of connecting Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts via a metro railway line, the state government has directed the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to prepare a master plan, including a brief report and a detailed project report, for the 60-km stretch.
The government has told BMRCL to submit the master plan for Phase 1 of the 60-km intercity rail connectivity corridor between the two districts. The government has also communicated with the deputy commissioners of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi regarding the project.
Former secretary of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) Mohandas Hegde had written to Dakshina Kannada District In-charge Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao and Minister for Large and Medium Industries MB Patil, proposing a metro railway line between Mangaluru and Udupi. In his letters, he stated that such a metro line, covering major urban, semi-urban, and industrial zones, would enhance transportation while promoting economic and urban development.
The proposal for a metro railway line between the two neighbouring districts was supported by the KPCC member, citing congestion in the current transport system, which causes inconvenience to road users. A metro line, on the other hand, is expected to reduce travel time to less than an hour. Moreover, an intercity metro railway line is considered a suitable mode of transport for connecting Dakshina Kannada and Udupi, given the high population in both districts.
