We as "Hosurians" should be disappointed to read that the Central Government has once again ignored the much-awaited express train between Hosur and Chennai. Hosur being the industrial hub of Tamilnadu and a fast growing city near Bangalore with so many migrants from all across the country, this is an injustice to Hosurians. Although there is no direct rail link between Chennai and Hosur, there was a proposal to run a train via Byappanahalli (Hosur->Byappanahalli->Bangarpet->Jolarpet->Chennai). Atleast a thrice-a-week train would have been a good start if not daily.
I read that there are 73 trains announced in the railway budget which includes a Bangalore-Chennai daily express via Bangarpet and Katpadi. What is the need for another express train between Bangalore and Chennai when there are more than 15 trains between the two cities including a double-decker train plying daily. The same could have been changed between Hosur-Chennai via Byappanahalli.
This is a unjustitied and unacceptable to the people of this region.
I hope Mr. Gopinath, a very vibrant Hosur MLA from the congress party would take up this matter seriously and get us a solution.
