Commuters point to relaxation of travel curbs by Karnataka government
Patrons have urged the Ministry of Railways to immediately restore services of Yeshwantpur-Karwar-Yeshwantpur tri-weekly express (16515/16516) that was temporarily cancelled at the behest of Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. (KRCL) The Rail Prayanikara Hitharakshana Samithi, Kundapura, in a letter to KRCL Chairman and Managing Director, said trains and flights were the only available mode of transport during the COVID-19 lockdown. Instead of helping people by operating the Yeshwantpur-Karwar day train, Konkan Railway asked South Western Railway to cancel the services between Mangaluru Junction and Karwar, the Samithi said. The tri-weekly day service was of much help to regular office goers, and people visiting hospitals in Udupi and Mangaluru. Its temporary cancellation has affected all these people.More Related News
