In what is likely to brighten the face of many Bengaluru residents, the Indian railways has now sanctioned a Rs 492.87-crore project to ease traffic congestion in the IT city. According to a tweet from the Union Rail Minister, Piyush Goyal, the Railways has given its nod to a quadrupling project with a provision of two additional lines from Bengaluru Cant to Whitefield at a cost of Rs 492.87 crore. The 25-km stretch will involve six most important stations--Bengaluru Cantonment, Bengaluru East, Baiyyapannahalli, Krishnarajapuram, Hoodi and Whitefield. The project is likely to benefit 62,000 daily commuters in this section as it will make commuting between these stations easy and faster. The project will be completed within two to three years. It will be a boon for those belonging to the IT hub of Whitefield, a statement issued by the Railway Ministry said.
