The Union government has canceled the proposed road-cum-rail tunnel project through Shiradi Ghat due to technical infeasibility regarding gradient requirements. Instead, the government will pursue separate road and rail projects to improve infrastructure in the Dakshina Kannada region.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, MP for Dakshina Kannada, on Friday said the Union government had dropped the road-cum-rail tunnel project through Shiradi Ghat because the road alignment would have to be too long to match the railway line gradient.
