Kalyana Karnataka Horata Samiti demands Centre to address region's needs in upcoming Union Budget, threatening agitation if ignored.
Members of the Kalyana Karnataka Horata Samiti have said that it is time the Centre accepted demands of the region and clear long-pending projects in the upcoming Union Budget.
Addressing presspersons here on Monday, samiti founder-president Lakshman Dasti and honorary president Basavaraj Deshmukh said that the Centre should realize the fact that Kalyana Karnataka region has poor social and economic indicators with its districts falling well below the State and national averages on most socio-economic parameters.
The samiti demanded that the Union government extend financial assistance for implementing the third phase of Upper Krishna Project, a crucial irrigation project that aims to provide water to drought-prone areas in the region.
The samiti urged the Union government to establish a Railway Divisional office in Kalaburagi. The government should also start a new train named Kalyana Karnataka Express to Bengaluru covering Bidar, Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Raichur and Ballari districts. Mr. Dasti urged the government to complete the Gadag-Wadi railway line and Vijayapura-Shahabad railway line for which a survey was conducted 15 years ago.
The Railway Ministry should also resume the following train services Kalaburagi- Hyderabad, Bijapur-Raichur-Guntakal and Wadi-Hyderabad that were stopped during the pandemic. The demands also included sanctioning a second ring road and establishing a mega textiles park in the city.
He said that the demand for establishment of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Kalyana Karnataka region is pending for long and urged the government to set up a new branch of the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) in the region.
The Union government should show special concern for improving the Kalaburagi and Raichur Airports by starting flight services to new destinations such as Delhi, Hyderabad and Tirupati under the UDAAN scheme.
