    Very good yo hearvthet our MP has shown interest In constructive works.
    One fast train between mangalore to Mumbai with limited stops is the need of the hour to cover the distance in 10-12 hours.
    Also, a much larger issue is : the Matsyaganda Express should run with priority basis in Konkan Railway Routes. Currently it gives room for other long distance trains to passthrough in more than 5-6 places, which eventually delays Matsyaganda to reach its destination in time.

    I think from Kankanady to Madgaon, none of the stations have cover and protection from rain and sun, except a small part in front of offices. Last week, I was drenched in rain at Mulki station while boarding the train. In Maharashtra, there are hundreds of local rly stations, which have no platforms. People have to climb from the ground. Even in Mulki which has one platform, sometimes, trains stop in other track, when people have to board and alight from/to ground. Why, every one is silent on this, I do not know.

    The list sounds like a Udupi Veg restaurant food menu. Let him start the pumpwell circle.then we go to the railway station.
    If at all these were in his priority then why not he push in the last Lok Sabha.

    It seems Pumpwell bridge will stay UNTIL the charter of demands are expeditiously and judiciously expedited. Piyush is a Railway Minister not a Road Minister. I think it's destined for Nitin Gadkari to come down from Nagpur or neighbouring Maharashtra to open up the Pumpwell bridge. Naleen Katil doesn't seem to be interested/dislikes the Pumpwell bridge. His choice and taste seem different.
