Conversion of the existing metre gauge line in Chamarajanagar to broad gauge is in progress. There is also a proposal to connect the railway line at Chamarajanagar to the railway line at Mettupalayam in Tamil Nadu which will provide connectivity to Nanjangud to other cities in the south of India.

The Injustice and the Plight

Well being at just 180kms from the silicon and rich city Bengalooru this place is water thirsty.After independence of India it took almost 5 decades for Kaveri water to flow into this place.This is the worst hit area due to Kaveri River Water Dispute. Neither being close to capital city nor engulfing about 120 villages of erstwhile princely Mysore State save it from being the most backward district of the state.It doesn't have well linked road or rail facilities also.Over that malnutrition and poverty are commonplace. ... The Cauvery (sometimes written as Kaveri) is one of the major rivers of southern India. ... The waters of the river Kaveri (or Cauvery) has been the bone of contention of a serious conflict between Karnataka and the state of Tamil Nadu. ... The Kingdom of Mysore was one of the three largest princely states within the erstwhile British Empire of India. ...


The biggest mockery is the Shivanasamudra in the Kollegala taluk hosts water to Tamil Nadu but this district waits for 5 decades after independence to get drinking water, leave about water for irrigation. The politics and unscientific ruling of Kaveri Tribunal in 2007 has hit the Kabini second phase planned for providing water to this place. Shivanasamudra is a small town in the Mysore district of Karnataka state. ... Kollegal is one of the major taluk in Chamrajnagar District of Karnataka State in India. ... Tamil Nadu (தமிழ் நாடு, Land of the Tamils) is a state at the southern tip of India. ...


Most of the villages depend on agriculture for living but only have to depend on monsoons for it and at max grow one crop per year.The trend of selling lands and committing suicide is increasing due to lack of political initiative in this part just because they don't have prescriptive rights like farmers of Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu (தமிழ் நாடு, Land of the Tamils) is a state at the southern tip of India. ...


It is absolutely criminal injustice done on the agriculturists of this place which is also a reserved Lok Sabha constituency.Leadership and political crisis is long been mark of Chamarajanagar's development. Vatal Nagraj is an influential leader from this place ,only known for his protests in Bengalooru.
