These MEMUs are being procured by state govt. Only Bengaluru and Hyderabad suburban services are being paid by state govt. Cities like Chennai and Mumbai get all funds and rakes from centre. For Bengaluru, nothing from Center.
This money was handed over months ago, but only now MEMUs are being sent to SWR by center and tom-toming it for election sake.
.
State ministers...
more...
have requested center to extend RMGM MEMUs to MYA, but no response. When election nears, center will extend it to MYA or if MYS gets completed, to MYS and will again go on a publicity overdrive.
.
Binny Mill land was handed over years ago by state govt. to center. No work till date means, center is to blame as SWR said no funds for the yard work. But the land given in land swap to state govt. for Okalipuram flyover, the work is on in full swing.
.
No fund allocation by center for Hosur line doubling too.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
