Meeting with Mr V Madhu, IDD
Written By silkboard - 25 February, 2010
As we see via the BMLTA meeting records (http://www.bmlta.org/sites/default/files/Proceedings_6th_Meeting_BMLTA.pdf), IDD (Mr V Madhu) seems to be batting for Commuter Rail. Let us plan the first meeting with him.
We need more guys to join the project though. Don't care at this time whether it is possible or not. Just join in and raise the pitch on this issue, ashtay.

I tried to speak to IDD & BMLTA last on the report submission within 60 days by IDD for CRS, they are clueless on this. As the deadline to submit the report was on 18th Jan'2010.
Here is the Chief Minister statement on Local Trains not announcing for B'lore in DNA

It seems he wil ltake up this matter with MoS & Mamatha. We need to meet BMLTA & IDD to raise the isssue further.

Pranava :
I am following up with BMLTA officials on the minitues of meeting of Sub-Commitee held on 18th Dec'2009. Mr Revanna of BMLTA . As this is not uploaded in BMLTA website & one which is uploaded under Sub Committee of Bangalore Traffic And Transport Initiative file is not opening.
Also I spoke to Mr Ramesh Jt Secretary of IDD last week on CRS. His response was very cold & he put the issue to SWR saying they have written letter in Jan'2009 & agreed to deposit amount of Rs 4.95 Crore per Rake to start Suburrban Trains. When asked him spcifically for how many Rakes you are going to Depost the amount, he was cluless.
Last week I tried to speak to Mr S K Gupta, SWR GM's secretary at Hubli on the status of the CRS approval, he does not care for this. Also couple of emails sent last month, their is no response from DRM/ SWR Blore, GM/ SWR Hubli.
Then spoke to Sr Div Operational Manager office at B'lore on this, it seems matter is under discussion & nothing has been finalised.
We need to file RTII application with SWR on the CRS starting, I want to File the RTI application to SWR Hubli or Railway Delhi. If you can guide me on this I will do it.
