    Lets not halt progress based on selfish interests. But a special levy should be put on states like Kerala, Tamilnadu and Bihar which are not doing enough to encourage industrial development in their states whereby the people are forced to migrate to other cities. Mangalore was once a peaceful town, now its filled with people from Kerala. And very soon it will become a haven for terrorists too. The local easy going, fun loving people are being eradicated and the flavour of Mangalore no more. This happened to Bangalore at one time and we shouldnt allow it to happen to Mangalore. We should pass a law where by people from these states should not be allowed to buy properties unless they lived here for over 25 years.

    Very good news. After extending the Mumbai - Karwar train up to Mangalore, space is available at Karwar station so that Bangalore - Mangalore Train can be exteded upto Karwar. Otherwise Bangalore - Mangalore train can be extened upto Madgoan which solves all hindrences for extention.

    It's a GOOD NEWS to all Mangaloreans. It should be extended upto Mangalore only, not beyond Mangalapuram.
