Complete line info:

From what I could gather, some 30-35 Kms of railway line has been laid. The work on other stations are on too. Once the track work at Gangavathi station too is completed, the line will be inaugurated it seems. Locals are hopeful that their demand for atleast a passenger to UBL and BAY are accepted.
