dat route is single,n it ll take more distance n time. atleast a bit f this route is double.
more inportantly, if end to end pax were considered, dat route could b chosen. but it runs more dan half in interior Maharashtra, which won't ve much demand to connect wd Karnataka cities... this route passes through most NK districts which need connectivity.
may be once gr-humnabad is open, this can be routed via gr, htg, bjp, gdg...
