KR Puram station is the gateway to East Benguluru and ORR areas and central area Koramangala HAL Domlur Indiranagar and has its importance from past 15 years as the bus stop is located right in the entrance and I used it from 2009-14 for 5 yrs. Though it is part of Benguluru it doesn't t have facilities with narrow FOB at one end of PF.

Bengaluru Suburban rail: SWR gives 115 acres for Corridor 4, promises to okay airport line alignment

The South Western Railway (SWR) has provided 115 acres of land to the Bengaluru Suburban Railway Project (BSRP) for its 46.88-km line connecting Heelalige and Rajanukunte. This land handover was part of a long-term lease agreement signed on April 2. The SWR initially allocated 157.07 acres for Corridor 2 but later...

reduced it to 85.707 acres. The BSRP has awarded a contract to L&T Limited for the design and construction of viaducts for Corridor 4. The project faced delays due to alignment approval and land acquisition issues but has now commenced after these hurdles were cleared. The SWR has approved the revised alignment plan for Corridor 4, and K-RIDE is working on utility shifts, private land acquisition, and other physical hurdles for the corridor. Corridor 4 is expected to be completed by December 2026, with 19 stations. Meanwhile, K-RIDE has submitted a revised alignment for Corridor 1 (KSR Bengaluru-Devanahalli/Airport) to the SWR. The Minister for Infrastructure Development, MB Patil, has set a December 2027 deadline for Corridor 1, with the first phase focusing on the Yelahanka-Devanahalli section to be completed by December 2026, and the second phase covering the KSR Bengaluru-Yelahanka section to be ready by December 2027. The Rs 15,767-crore project, initiated in June 2022, has faced delays and challenges, including coordination issues between K-RIDE and the railways. Civil work contracts have been awarded for only two of the four corridors. The SWR has indicated their willingness to take over the project if necessary.

Corridor 2 ke liye 157.07 acres zameen allocate ki thi, but baad mein usko kam karke 85.707 acres kar diya. BSRP ne Corridor 4 ke liye viaducts ke design and construction ke liye L&T Limited ko contract diya hai. Project me alignment approval aur zameen acquisition se related issues ki wajah se delay aaya tha, lekin ab yeh issues clear ho gaye hain aur project start ho gaya hai. SWR ne Corridor 4 ke liye revised alignment plan ko approve kiya hai, aur K-RIDE utility shifts, private zameen acquisition, aur corridor ke liye doosre physical hurdles par kaam kar raha hai. Corridor 4 December 2026 tak complete hone ki ummeed hai, jisme 19 stations honge. Iske saath hi, K-RIDE ne Corridor 1 (KSR Bengaluru-Devanahalli/Airport) ke liye SWR ko revised alignment submit kiya hai. Infrastructure Development ke minister, MB Patil, ne Corridor 1 ke liye December 2027 ki deadline di hai, jiska pehla phase Yelahanka-Devanahalli section par focus karega, jiska December 2026 tak complete hone ka lakshya hai, aur doosra phase KSR Bengaluru-Yelahanka section ko cover karega, jiska December 2027 tak ready hone ka lakshya hai. Rs 15,767 crore ka yeh project, June 2022 me shuru hua tha, lekin isme delay aur challenges aaye hain, jisme K-RIDE aur railways ke beech coordination issue bhi shamil hain. Chaar corridors mein se sirf do corridors ke liye civil work contract award kiye gaye hain. SWR ne yeh bataya hai ki agar zarurat padi toh woh project ko apne hath mein le sakte hain.

Passenger's fatal assault on railway TTE Vinod provokes concern among ticket checkers in SWR zone

On April 1st, a Travelling Ticket Inspector (TTI) on the New Tinsukia Superfast Express from SMVT Bengaluru to Guwahati was bitten on the hand by a ticketless passenger while checking tickets. This incident, while recent, highlights a common issue faced by TTIs: violence from passengers. The death of TTE K Vinod...
more...
on April 2nd, after being kicked from a moving train by a passenger refusing to show his ticket, has sparked fear and concern among TTIs. This fear is not unfounded, as other TTIs have been subjected to violent attacks in the past. For example, V Santhosh Kumar was robbed, tied up, and thrown from a moving train six years ago, and another woman TTE was assaulted by a group of women three years ago. TTIs are calling for improved security measures, as they face verbal and physical abuse while performing their duties. The introduction of LHB coaches has led to an increase in disputes, as more passengers with open tickets are found in reserved coaches. Senior SWR officials are aware of the issue and are working to find solutions.

1st April ko, SMVT Bengaluru se Guwahati jaane wali New Tinsukia Superfast Express mein, ek Travelling Ticket Inspector (TTI) ko ek ticketless passenger ne haath pe kaat liya jab woh ticket check kar rahe the. Ye to bas ek recent incident hai, par TTIs ko passengers se aane wali violence ka...

problem bahut time se hai. 2nd April ko, TTE K Vinod ki maut ho gayi jab ek passenger ne unhe train se dhakka de diya kyuki woh ticket nahi dikha raha tha. Isse TTIs mein bahut dar aur tension hai. Yeh dar be-bunyad nahi hai, kyuki pehle bhi TTIs par attacks ho chuke hain. For example, 6 saal pehle, V Santhosh Kumar ko loot liya gaya, bandh diya gaya, aur chalti train se dhakka de diya gaya. Aur 3 saal pehle, ek aur TTE ko ek group of women ne maara. TTIs maang rahe hain ki unhe security di jaaye, kyuki unhe apna kaam karte hue verbal aur physical abuse ka saamna karna padta hai. LHB coaches aane ke baad se disputes bhi badh gaye hain, kyuki bahut se passengers jo open tickets pe hain, woh reserved coaches mein baith jaate hain. Senior SWR officials ko is problem ke bare mein pata hai aur woh solution dhund rahe hain.
