Require a definitive decision and impact analysis regarding the 'rail spur' which is currently described as only 'being considered' rather than confirmed.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission indicates that a rail spur is merely under consideration. If this infrastructure is not built, the transport of materials and used fuel will default to road transport, significantly increasing heavy truck volume on local highways. Melgund needs to understand the 'worst-case' traffic scenario (100% truck reliance) to evaluate the impact on road safety and infrastructure wear for local residents."
