Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao has requested the Indian Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to reconsider the decision to extend the Bengaluru-Kannur train service to Kozhikode in Kerala.

He points out that Kozhikode is already well-connected by train to Bangalore, and that the extension will likely lead to passengers switching from other trains to the extended service.

already full train mein seats milna mushkil ho jayega. Unka maanana hai ki yeh extension illogical hai aur shayad ‘oblique interests’ se motivate kiya gaya hai. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki Kozhikode already train se Bangalore se well-connected hai, aur extension se shayad dusre trains se passengers extended service mein switch kar jaayenge. Rao ne yeh bhi highlight kiya ki Railway Board ‘other states’ ke request ko accommodate kar raha hai, lekin Karnataka ki Vande Bharat Express ko Mangaluru tak extend karne ki demand ko reject kar raha hai.
