What’s inside:
BJP leaders are pushing for more train services in the Malabar region, including an extension of the Vande Bharat train to Kozhikode.
In Kozhikode, BJP district president K.P. Prakash Babu and other local leaders met with the Union Railway Minister, V. Somanath. They discussed the need for more train services in the Malabar region to improve local travel.
The leaders specifically requested to extend the Kannur Yashwantpur train to Kozhikode and to introduce the Mangalapuram-Rameswaram train. The Railway Minister assured them that both issues would be looked into.
This move aims to enhance connectivity for passengers traveling late at night, especially between Shornur and Kannur. Solutions for these travel issues are expected to be implemented soon.
There is also a possibility of extending the Goa-Mangaluru Vande Bharat train to Kozhikode. If this is not feasible, a Vande Bharat sleeper train connecting Kozhikode is being considered.
Next steps will include further discussions and planning by the railway authorities to address these requests. The local leaders are hopeful for quick action on these important travel updates.
