Title - Daily train to run from September 15

Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge has announced that the Solapur-Yeshwantpur Express, which is running thrice a week, will run daily from September 15.

He told reporters here on Sunday that measures will be initiated to expand the Yeshwantpur railway station as it is congested now.

The Union Minister also said that a Railway Recruitment Board office will be set up in Gulbarg. The Union Minister said that the Mysore-Bangalore track doubling work, halted because of delay in shifting of Tipu Sultan’s artillery, will resume soon after the state government shifts the historical monument.

The work in Mandya will be taken once land is made available to the railways, Mallikarjun Kharge said.

 “I have spoken to Housing Minister Ambareesh, who is also Mandya MLA, in this regard,” he added.
