Mangaluru
The extension of Vande Bharat Express from the state’s capital Bengaluru to the coast was the long-time demand of people in this part of the state. A positive response in this connection is received from the Union Government, stated MP Nalin Kumar Kateel.
Mangaluru-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express is well-equipped to run and the time table will be released very soon. The request made for Mangaluru-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express was fruitful and will be realised soon. I thank the Union Government on behalf of the citizens of the district for this, he said.
There were urges to extend till Mangaluru the Vande Bharath Express train that runs between Kasargod and Thiruvananthapuram. There was also a proposal in front of the railway department to run Vande Bharat Express between Mangaluru-Madgaon and Mangaluru-Ernakulam. There are also indications that the demand of people on the coast for Vande Bharat Express between Mangaluru–Bengaluru will also be realised.
