Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao has opposed the extension of the Bengaluru-Kannur express train service to Kozhikode, Kerala.

He requested the Railway Ministry to reconsider the extension and retain the existing train services.

Rao ne point kiya ki extension se train mein reserved berths ki availability bhi kam ho jaayegi, kyunki unreserved coaches ko Kannur aur Kozhikode ke beech travel karne wale passengers occupy kar lenge. Unhone Railway Ministry se request ki hai ki woh extension ko reconsider karein aur existing train services ko maintain rakhein.

The Karnataka Coast passengers are facing a setback as the KSR Bengaluru-Kannur train (No. 16511/16512) has been extended to Kozhikode. This extension is causing concern for coastal residents as it will reduce berth and seat availability on the train. The railway ministry's order came as a surprise, particularly since Minister Ashwini...
more...
Vaishnaw had reportedly assured Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel that the train would not be extended. The train initially ran between Yeshwantpur and Mangaluru Central before being extended to Kannur in 2009. The extension to Kozhikode will occur under the existing timetable, with Train No. 16511 reaching Kozhikode at 12:40 PM and Train No. 16512 departing at 3:30 PM. Passengers have voiced their concerns on social media, highlighting that Kozhikode is already connected to Bengaluru through other trains and the extension will further reduce the limited seat availability for Karnataka Coast residents. They fear that unreserved coaches will fill up before the train reaches Mangaluru, leading to difficulties for coastal passengers.

Karnataka Coast ke passengers ke liye ek badha news hai, KSR Bengaluru-Kannur train (No. 16511/16512) ko Kozhikode tak extend kar diya gaya hai. Is extension se coastal logon ke liye train mein berth aur seat availability kam ho jaayegi, yeh unke liye ek problem hai. Railway ministry ka order ek surprise...

tha, khass karke is baat ko dekhte hue ki Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw ne reportedly Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel ko assurance di thi ki train ko Kozhikode tak extend nahi kiya jaayega. Train pehle Yeshwantpur aur Mangaluru Central ke beech chalti thi, phir 2009 mein isko Kannur tak extend kiya gaya tha. Kozhikode tak extension existing timetable ke under hoga, Train No. 16511 Kozhikode pe 12:40 PM pe pahunchega aur Train No. 16512 3:30 PM pe wahan se chalega. Passengers ne social media pe apni chinta express ki hai, unhone bataaya hai ki Kozhikode pehle se hi Bengaluru se other trains se connected hai aur is extension se Karnataka Coast ke residents ke liye already kam seat availability aur bhi kam ho jaayegi. Unhe dar hai ki unreserved coaches Mangaluru pahunchne se pehle hi bhar jaayenge, jisse coastal passengers ko pareshani ho sakti hai.

How many times you have travelled from/ to MAJN? You seem to claim that MAJN is a fantastic station.
Nothing prevents SR PGT to introduce a new train from anywhere in Kerala to Bangalore via Hassan. But spoiling the only night train connecting Mangalore with it's state capital is not acceptable.

I was refering in general. All I was talking that majn is at great location for a satellite station, unlike KCVL for TVC which is less accessible. MAJN certainly needs more development.

I worked there till 2 years back.
