Our Metro till Ramnagar, Bidadi: DCM DK Shivakumar announcement

Deputy Chief Minister D.K.Sivakumar has announced the extension of Purple Line Metro train of Bangalore to Bidadi.

This expansion aims to help more than one lakh employees in the vacant sector by providing them with better travel facilities. A joint petition by concerned MLAs and MPs prompted discussions on conducting a Detailed Project Report (DPR).

The MLAs and MPs here had requested about making our metro in Bidadi. I have suggested to make a DPR to the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms of Karnataka regarding this.

Ten thousand acres of land had been acquired for smart city which was previously abandoned. But it remains so. Thus, the Greater Bangalore Development Planning has been announced.

Legal procedure will follow. These announcements are being made to empower everyone. In this regard, he has clarified that a separate meeting will be held for local people for employment and appeals will be made to all the factories.

Shivakumar addressed the prospect of renaming Ramanagara, highlighting its association with the original name Bangalore. To get public opinion, there is a proposal to rename the district as Bengaluru South with efforts to bring about this change.

On the issue of dismissal of the CBI petition, Shivakumar was not sure about its status, indicating that he would look into the matter in depth.

I will make a special request to the CM. I demand 25 percent reservation for women in employment. There is an allegation of not giving jobs to the people of Ramanagara district in Toyota. But I don't know the reason. If there are past events, don't treat everyone equally. He said while giving employment, consider Ramnagar district also
