Bengaluru | Tuesday | 18th September, 2018

Summary:

BENGALURU: Located just 7km away from Bengaluru’s IT nerve centre Electronics City Heelalige railway station is a picture of utter neglect. It would help residents in Anekal, Attibele, Bommasandra, Chandapura and Electronics City, the petition said.Needed: Safe parking zone, feeder busesThere’s no toilet facility, which makes it difficult during an emergency. A cab journey from Yeshwantpur to Heelalige (60km) would cost over Rs 1,000 and take two hours. 2.The station’s condition is shocking given that it’s a gateway to the tech corridors of Bengaluru and has enormous potential to emerge as a suburban rail hub. Their logic: ticket revenue from the station is too less to merit any investment in basic facilities.Passengers, obviously, aren’t amused..
