ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು: ಮೆಜೆಸ್ಟಿಕ್-ಏರ್ಪೋರ್ಟ್ ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗ ನೆನೆಗುದಿಗೆThe Bangalore Suburban Railway project, particularly the ‘Sampige’ corridor connecting Majestic to the Kempegowda International Airport, is facing delays.

Despite the urgent need for this connection, the state government is focusing on the ‘Mallige’ corridor. The ‘Sampige’ corridor is vital due to the increasing traffic to the airport, which is expected to reach 4-5 lakh passengers in the next few years. While a 58 km metro line connecting the airport will be completed by 2027, it will only serve 25% of the city, highlighting the importance of the suburban railway. Transportation experts emphasize the need to accelerate the ‘Sampige’ corridor project and suggest starting the ground-level work between Yeshwanthpur and Lottegollahalli, prioritizing the project’s completion within three years. They also point out the lack of a full-time managing director and the absence of continuous monitoring by the government as contributing factors to the delay. The project faces challenges with land acquisition but can be addressed through separate tenders for the ground-level work in Lottegollahalli, Yelahanka, and Devanahalli. The ‘Sampige’ corridor is the first of the suburban railway corridors, covering 41.4 km with an estimated cost of ₹5060 crore. It includes 8 elevated and 7 ground-level stations, connecting various locations including KSR Bangalore, Srirampura, Malleshwaram, Yeshwanthpur, Mathikere, Lottegollahalli, Kodigehally, Judicial Layout, Yelahanka, Nitte Meenakshi, Bettahalaasuru, Doddajala, Airport Trumpet, Airport Terminal, Airport KIADB, and Devanahalli.

more... hi central government ne priority diya tha, kyunki yeh airport connect karta hai aur unka expect tha ki yeh 3 saal mein complete ho jayega, jabki dusre corridors ke liye 6 saal diya gaya tha. Is important connection ki urgent zaroorat ke baavajood, state government 'Mallige' corridor pe focus kar raha hai. 'Sampige' corridor bahut important hai kyunki airport ka traffic bahut badh raha hai, aur aage aane wale 4-5 saal mein 4-5 lakh passengers aa jayenge. 2027 tak, airport connect karne wala 58 km ka metro line complete ho jayega, par yeh city ka sirf 25% hi serve karega, isse suburban railway ki importance samjh aati hai. Transport experts 'Sampige' corridor project ko jaldi complete karne ka zor dete hain aur suggest karte hain ki Yeshwanthpur aur Lottegollahalli ke beech ground level ka kaam pehle shuru kiya jaaye, aur project ko 3 saal mein complete karne ki priority di jaaye. Unhone yeh bhi bataya hai ki managing director ka full time nahi hona aur government ki continuous monitoring ka na hona bhi delay ka ek reason hai. Project ko land acquisition ki wajah se challenges aarahi hai par yeh challenge Lottegollahalli, Yelahanka aur Devanahalli mein ground level ka kaam alag alag tenders ke through karke solve kiya ja sakta hai. 'Sampige' corridor suburban railway ka pehla corridor hai, yeh 41.4 km lamba hai aur iski estimated cost ₹5060 crore hai. Isme 8 elevated aur 7 ground level stations hain, yeh KSR Bangalore, Srirampura, Malleshwaram, Yeshwanthpur, Mathikere, Lottegollahalli, Kodigehally, Judicial Layout, Yelahanka, Nitte Meenakshi, Bettahalaasuru, Doddajala, Airport Trumpet, Airport Terminal, Airport KIADB aur Devanahalli ko connect karta hai.
