Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Monday urged the Railway Ministry to restore the Vijayapura-Mangaluru-Vijayapura daily special express that was cancelled in view of COVID-19, with revised timings. In a letter to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, Mr. Kateel said that the earlier timings of the service were inconvenient to the travelling public as the train arrived at Mangaluru Junction at 12.40 p.m. and left for Vijayapura at 4.30 p.m. Travelling public and passengers associations have represented to him to ensure the timings were modified to suit travellers. He suggested that the train should arrive at Mangaluru Junction or Mangaluru Central before 9.30 a.m. and it should leave at around 5.30 p.m. This measure would increase patronage too, he noted.More Related News
