Summary:
Despite the growth of Bengaluru and smaller towns nearby, the Yeshwantpur – Devanahalli – Chikkaballapur line is symptomatic of the neglect of the local train network. At the same time, Nandi halt could become a pit stop for people heading to Nandi Hills. However, not many use the Nandi Halt Station located on the foothills. With the suburban rail still in the conceptual stage, South Western Railway officials said ‘no specific’ proposal has been drawn up for the Yeshwantpur–Chikkaballapur line. This is one of the stations expected to get a boost under the proposed suburban network of Bengaluru..
