Rail patrons urge Railway Ministry to make the service a daily one to promote tourism
There was exuberance along the Konkan Railway network in coastal Karnataka during the maiden run of Yeshwantpur-Karwar day train attached with vistadome coaches. Patrons welcomed the train at all important stations when the service was operated between Mangaluru and Karwar on August 16 evening. The tri-weekly day service (06211/06212) connecting Bengaluru was cancelled between Mangaluru Junction and Karwar on May 2 by Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. citing poor occupancy. After a public outcry, and following appeals from people’s representatives in the region, KRCL resumed the service on August 16.More Related News
