ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II/GS-III: Inter-state infrastructure and urban transport. Issue: a metro link across the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border needs approval from the Centre and cooperation from both states. Policy: metro rail is a State subject, but central approval and funding shape such projects. Implication: it can ease commuter pressure and boost regional integration, yet raises cost-sharing and operating-control questions. Way forward: a joint state-Centre framework, with clear financing and operating arrangements.
