To Dr .Man Mohan Singh

Hon’ble Prime Minister,

Parliament House,New-Delhi-11001

build Commuter Rail Corridor inB’lore city &-urged to start commuter trainfacilities between Tumkur-B’lore-Ramanagar using existing corridor

Ref:1]Hon’ble Chief Minister GOK letter No.CM682 GOI10dtd11-9-2010 addressesd to your kindself 

2]GOK infrastructure Dept Bangalore letter No.IDD60 NSW2009

addressed to the Railway Board New Delhi

 In inviting your kind reference to the captioned subject, I write to state that

thousands of families reside in satellite-cities/towns around Bangalore city. Hence people

in lakhs make journey to Metro city Bangalore for their lively-hood daily. As such the

GOK with a vision to help this population by creating fast mass connectivity system.Hence with this vision, the Govt. of Karnataka with the intention to provide Mass Rapid

transits system to central Business District Bangalore from the surrounding cities/Townsvisualized Commuter Rail Service [CRS]. Creating this service also provides link from

Suburban areas to traffic hubs at Metro,Mono in Bangalore city, as a integrated facility.

Further these attempts will certainly disperse crowd in the Bangalore. The State

Government identified existing 10 rail routes to build commuter Rail corridor, of the onesuch route is Tumkur—Bangalore-Ramanagar .Concept of commuter rail exists in all

metros, as such GOK proposed SPV model concept to the Ministry of Railways for 

  building such corridor by augmenting the existing Rail lines destination Bangalorecity. .In past Ministry of Railways have created one separate company ‘Mumbai Rail

development corporation Ltd.[MRDCL] to augment the existing corridor in Mumbai, toenhance the funding opportunities from WB/ADB with equitable share from MOR &Govt. of Maharastra for smooth implementation. In similar to this, proposal already been

submitted to the Rly Ministry by the GOK indicating its desire to participate on cost

sharing for acceptance this model. These exercise ie.building Commuter Rail system, I

understand, will add value to the Social Economic Benefit Index to the suburbans

of Bangalore city as seen counter magnet cities developed around Mumbai/Delhi.

Hence I urge you Sir, to give green signal to the proposals made by the GOK to

create commuter Rail System services for building dedicated corridor under SPV

model. Recently for Calcutta one such separate entity approved.

Further, Tumkur city is just one hour drive from Bangalore [like

Kalyan to Mumbai Noida to New -Delhi] Officials /Industrial Workers especially womenGarment workers travel daily to Bangalore for their livelihood. [Please see exhibit –News

 paper report]. Now they depend on crowding long distance trains to make jouney to

Bangalore in view of only a few passenger trains are available, hence I urge you sir, the following-

proposals submitted by the GOK regarding formation of SPV to build commuter

Rail corridor

appropriate authorities to start commuter Rail model services between Tumkur-Bangalore city-Ramanagar as an 1st attempt using existing double line corridor.

This will help poor Industrial workers. As you are very kind and havingsensitive we hope you give suitable direction to the Railway Board, in the matter.
