In a development that may bring cheer to those weary of the Bengaluru traffic, the Extended Railway Board has cleared a 148-km suburban railway project for the city. Union Minister of State of Railways Suresh Angadi announced this in a tweet on Monday. "In order to fast-track the #BengaluruSuburbanRail, the Extended Railway Board met today and has given its clearance. In this regard, I assure the people of Bengaluru that Shri @PiyushGoyal Ji and I shall make all efforts to ensure that the project is brought to fruition at the earliest," the politician, who belongs to Karnataka, said.
