Its been a century after the first proposal to connect wayanad to the railway map by making the much discussed malabar mysore rail route.
But after successfully completing three surways, one by British and rest by our engineers, still its a dream. Not becoming a reality.
Its a truth that there is thousands of studants from malabar area is travelling through wayanad to reach different parts of karnataka. Apart from this, there is a considerable logistics flow is taking place through NH 212. But after the ban of night traffic through this area, the traffic flow is highly affected. Rail connectivity is the only solution which will cater to the trade as well as travel needs of a huge community comprised of people from wayanad, gudallur of tamilnad, and chamrajnagar, gunlupet of karnataka.
The action commitee which is formed to fuel the action on this issue proposes a new solution which is much economical and eco friendly than the former proposals. The new plan is like connecting Nanjangaud to wayanad trough the 20 kms forest by an elevated bridge. Though the proposed bridge is elevated, which will not influence the forest and animals in anyway. So that night traffic also is possible through this elevated rail bridge.
And the main modification in the new proposal is to end the rail at Gudallur instead of connecting all the way through Nilambur, which will increase the construction cost by multifold. The action commitee states that as per the present estimate, the project can be completed in 825 crore Indian rupee. And within the third year of operation, the new route will be running in profit.
