Surya expressed hope that Bengaluru suburban rail will be completed during Angadi`s tenure and help the city dwellers achieve ease of living. The 148 km Bengaluru suburban rail proposal with four corridors has been a much delayed project, languishing for decades.
The four proposed corridors include KSR Bengaluru city to Devanahalli, Chikkabanavara to Yeshwantpur to Byappanahalli, Heelalige to Yelahanka to Rajanukunte and Kengeri to KSR Bengaluru to Whitefield.
