    Thanks to Mr.Mohan for taking up the cause of Mangalore-Bangalore train service. This train service will ease the hardship which people of Dakshin Kannada are facing while travelling on road to Bangalore. Our leaders from DK who are in the central govt, are not doing enough for the people of DK.

    If our leaders like Moily and Oscar are sincere they could have stopped the hunger strike by pressurising the concerned and got the train introduced.Instead, Moily has gone in saerch of a date available with Smt.Sonia Gandhi which may not happen in the nearest future. For the people of this region inauguration by the station master or any local leader is enough! If he wants to get it inaugurated by a busiest person and keep the people in hardship better wait for George Bush!

    Thanks to Mr.PV Mohan and Team for taking so much pain for demanding Train from M'lore - B'lore. It would have been better if we also demand for seperate "MANGALORE RAILWAY DIVISION" under "SWR Zone HQ at HUBLI" instead of Palghat Division. This is really and very much needed for our Mangalore and for our Karnataka.
