A small portion of single line between Kardi and Banasandra (around 10 KMs) (in between Tumkur and Tiptur) is doubled and ready for trains to use the new line. The CRS inspection was supposed to take place on 22nd Feb.2020 as per paper notification. I travelled yesterday from Shivamogga to YPR by 3.30 PM SMET YPR Express and observed that the remaining portion i.e., Gubbi to Banasandra will also be finished very soon.
