    Narendra Modi to inaugurate Bidar-Kalaburgi railway track

    Modi is set to dedicate to the nation the 110-kilometre Bidar-Kalaburgi railway track in the Hyderabad-Karnataka region that would reduce the distance between Bengaluru and New Delhi by 380 kilometres and travel time by six to eight hours.

    The new track will also provide direct rail connectivity from Bengaluru to Bidar in the state's northern region, about 690 kilometres away from the state capital.

    Though foundation for the project was laid over two decades ago in 1996, its construction work began only in 2000 and dragged on for years due to meagre fund allocation by the Railway ministry.

    This escalated its cost to a whopping Rs 1,542 crore from the original estimate of Rs 370 crore. Land acquisition between the towns also delayed its completion.
