To cover Coorg area

This line will go and end at Kushalnagar. Originally it was planned to connect Madikeri (District HQ of Coorg) and later on to Mangalore. However, due to environmental issues , survey was cut shorted to Madikeri. From then it was cut short to Kushalnagar which is the entry point of Coorg district. Committee was formed to set up the feasibility. Results came as negative. By then , Kodagu Mysore MP Pratap Simha took this as a personal challenge to get this line. Due to result of his efforts, the survey is done. But looks very unlikely it ll be constructed.
