Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa on Friday announced the setting up of a joint legislature committee to form a draft master plan on the requirement of railway services for the state. “The Committee would submit its report within six months,” he said.

BSY added that the Committee would also prioritise pending railway projects and chalk out plans for new railway lines in various parts of the state.

The announcement was made after JD(U) leader Dr Mallanagowda Nadagowda said that there was not much being done to improve the railways.

The CM also added: “By May 2009, you will see positive changes in the city’s infrastructure. The plan is to develop the capital as per international standards.” BSY added that he would take all the legislators on a city tour to show them the various developmental works.
