    1. How come you forgot am imp line of the state Mangalore Bangalore that has to be electrified and doubled immediately… It is also imp because a lot of goods traffic is now being diverted to Chennai as the line cannot handle heavy traffic besides Mangalore contributes the highest revenue to the state after Bangalore besides having highest rail, international air and shipping traffic…

  2. There is no direct train from Hyderabad, Bidar and Gulbarga to BELGAVI. Please ensure to start direct train from BIDAR OR KALABURGI TO BELAGAVI at the earliest.

    1. Railway laying started 3years back for line marikuppam to kuppam 23 kms still it is not finished the railway department has stopped the work for what reason do not know so we request the railway department to complete it as soon as possible 1000 kms line are finishing in a spen of 1 or 2 year but this 23 kms has taken 3years still not completed

  3. Mysore Railway Station doesn’t require any Modernisation.
    This Station is a Heritage Station with a Beautifully Built Building itself is a Major attraction.

  4. Why northern karnataka leftover has like orphans… Belagavi division and Kalaburagi division every day there are lakhs together travellers….

  5. Why should YADGIR (YG) isn’t junction Because there terminated line by Hyderabad route or many huge junctions

  6. Since last 5 years back(2017) our Prime Minister Sri. Modiji inaugurated new rail line from Bidar to Gulbarga(karanataka) which reduce travel dist of 80 km from Bidar to B,lore. Also Mumbai by 85km. If train run from bidar to via gulbarga route instead of vikarabad junction. I request our Prime Minister start new trains from this route to B,lore and Mumbai earliest. Till date no trains are running. Also requested to start new intercity train between Gulbarga and Bidar.

  7. Yelahanka Railway station.should be upgraded and trains bound to other southern states starting from Sir M Visveswariaya should be shifted to yelahanka as the connectivity is far better than other stations, especially considering proximity to this station such as airport, peeniya industrial area, airforce station, bsf, crpf, air, ref, and other central govt offices. Connectivity also towards, hebbal peeniya, jalahallt, airport, bagalur, hegde nagar Rajanukunte, doddaballapur, r.t.nagar, hessargatye, etc.

  8. Kalburgi and Wadi major railway station in karnataka, we need zone and redevelopment of these station.

  9. Kalburgi don’t have direct connectivity to coastal city mangaluru, it’s urgent need to connect these important cities directly by train. It’s reduces traveling time.

  10. The name Vasco de Gama should be changed. He was a cruel aggressor.

    Second, what people here need is Metro between Hubli-Belgavi more than the renovations existing station.

  11. Senior citizen over 60+ of age are drawing very meagre pension from EPFO of Rs 2000/-( Which never increase). And it this age they are, finding their life miserable. Why our politicians should draw hefty life time pensions with regular revisions, for their janaseva which is not a job for claiming pension.
    Let Central govt. rethink on spending lavishly on unnecessary ideas, think of these helpless senior citizen who have spent atleast half their life in serving nation in one way or another.
