MP Brijesh Chowta urges Railway Ministry for Vande Bharat Express between Mangaluru and Mumbai to reduce travel time.
Dakshina Kannada MP Capt. Brijesh Chowta has urged the Railway Ministry to introduce a Vande Bharat Express between Mangaluru and Mumbai to reduce the travel time for the needy.
In a letter to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on October 17, 2024, Capt. Chowta said presently, Mangaluru-Mumbai trains take anywhere between 17 to 19 hours to complete the journey on either direction. The introduction of a Vande Bharat Express between the two cities would significantly reduce the travel time, the MP pointed out.
Commercial capital Mumbai and port city Mangaluru require speedy connectivity, particularly for those engaged in business activities, Capt. Chowta told Mr. Vaishnaw. A speedy commuting option, the MP said, would invariably boost economic activities, including tourism, in both the regions.
Capt. Chowta said the enhanced connectivity would provide a faster, more comfortable and convenient travel option to patrons, thereby promoting tourism, business, and education between the two cities. Improved connectivity would stimulate economic development in Dakshina Kannada, attracting investments and creating job opportunities. A Vande Bharat Express would cater to the growing demand for efficient travel, benefiting students, professionals, and seniors, he said.
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
