onboard 12008, noticed kaveri north & south interlinking started with the last few inches remaining. srirangapatna station is ready, fob done but rub can wait. wonder why they are dragging this project for so long even after all clearances. lethargy or plain disinterest. electrification is also limping with pandavapura getting done, but the up line at byadarahalli still poles not fixed. wiring not reached mysore yet. wonder if a wap7 shatabdi could make it to mysore by aug 15. fingers crossed.
