Possible new railway line
The meeting said the Palani-Chamrajnagar railway line scheme was proposed in 1915 and initially it was decided to lay railway line from Palani to Chamrajnagar via Kangeyam, Erode, Gobichettipalayam,Sathyamangalam and then Chamrajnagar. The then British Railway conducted surveys in 1922, 1936 and 1942 and survey stones were also laid on the proposed railway line. But after Independence the scheme did not take off. But till date, nothing had been done on the Erode-Gobichettipalayam-Sathyamangalam railway line work. The meeting said for introduction of the scheme it required a minimum Rs. 500 crore and the amount may be sanctioned immediately. The meeting urged the Union Government and also the Railway Ministry to organise a re-survey and sanction the scheme.By air
