Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (SP)

Puttur, Aug 16: Dakshina Kannada member of parliament (MP), Nalin Kumar Kateel, said that he has been promised by minister of state for railways, K H Muniyappa, to take all necessary action to ensure that the Mumbai-Karwar super fast train, which has been extended to the city, will touch Mangalore Central railway station as soon as possible. Kateel said he has extracted an assurance from the minister that the train will not be extended to Kerala in the coming days.

The MP stated, Muniyappa had told him that the railway ministry will take all steps to remove the technical hitches that have been impeding the plans of the ministry to make Mangalore Central as the destination station for this train.

Nalin said that considering the reports and widespread dissent to the plans of the railways to run the train from Mangalore Junction station, he had taken up the issue with the minister. “Union minister Muniyappahas informed me that there is no question of extending the said train to Kerala,” he stressed.

    The Honorable Minister should take all initiative to carve out Mangalore Division and make it a part of S.W.Railway.I agree that Railway is a National Carrier.But one can see the regional imbalance.In Karnataka there is only 4% double track where as in in Kerala it 90%.Mr.Muniyappa should all efforts to double the track Pune-Bangalore,Bangalore -Mangalore and Mangalore-Madgaon lines.The State Govt and the sitting M.Ps should also take this matter seriously

    Oh nice, another train to Mumbai from Mangalore. I'm from Kannur and to be honest, I don't really mind if it's not extended to Kerala. Given the great frequency of (mostly-punctual) trains from Kannur to Mangalore/Kankanady, I'd always be able to use the new train if needed. For instance I always use the Matsyagandha to Mumbai (since it reaches nice & early in the morning) and connect to it using the Chennai Mail, nice & convenient :-)
