Southern Railway has decided to restore unreserved coaches in three express trains operating out of Mangaluru Central from November 25.
An official release here said Train No. 22609/610 Mangaluru Central-Coimbatore Jn.-Mangaluru Central Intercity Superfast Express would get six general second-class coaches. Train No. 16605/606 Mangaluru Central-Nagercoil Jn.-Mangaluru Central Ernad Express would also get six general second-class coaches.
Train No. 16649/650 Mangaluru Central-Nagercoil Jn.-Mangaluru Central Parasuram Express would get two general second-class coaches and four second class sitting chair cars.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
