Bhatkal, Dec 3: Bhatkal citizens welcomed the Mumbai CST-Mangalore Express with great joy on Sunday December 1. Bhatkal MLA Mankal Vaidya flagged off the train in the evening at the Bhatkal railway station.

The train which halted for the first time at 10:40 am at the Bhatkal railway station was welcomed by the local people who also felicitated social worker and former Bhatkal municipal councillor Syed Hassan Barmavar with a garland, for his efforts in making this possible. Barmavar had written more than 50 letters to four railway ministers and the President in this matter.

The Konkan Railway train 12133/12134 Mumbai CST-Mangalore Express will halt at Bhatkal on an experimental basis for six months.

During the evening programme Tanzeem, general secretary, Muhiddin Altaf Kharuri, Muslim leader Inayatullah Shahbandari, Vittal Nailk, Abdul Rahim Shaikh and many others were present.

On the occaison, Syed Hassan Barmawar submitted two memorandums to the station master - first one with regard to the setting up of railway ticket counter in the town and secondly regarding the poor customer service at the phone counter in the Bhatkal railway station.

Bhatkal people have been facing various issues regarding phone services at the station.

    There are no Professional Institutions / Industries in Mulki. Mulki is a small town. How can you expect such popular Express trains to stop in Mulki for 3 - 4 people ? Deepak, Mangalore, I feel that you are silly to ask for it. Anyway please ask Mr.Oscar Fernandes to use his influence with Mr.Kharge.

    Actually its good news but people here will load all their trading goods for business in this passenger train itself as they load in buses traveling from Mumbai-Mangalore.

    Even in Matsyagandha express it is seen ..

    if the railway starts to collect fine for not having platform ticket at Bhatkal station, it will be more than the ticket collection. and always there are more people to see off than actual travellers

    Mulki is too small a place for this Express train to stop. This is not a shuttle train which should stop at every small village station. Please either shift residence to Mangalore or Udupi.

    Dear Rajiv for your information Mulky is not a small village.This train starts from Mangalore what is wrong if this train halt in mulky for five minutes? Because of this people from Padubidri to Moodbidre will be benefited.

    Mulki has no Taluk status. Hence the train cannot stop here. Only Mangalore - Madgao fast passenger train can stop at Mulki for 30 minutes or more, which in itself is great ! Now please do not ask for the Rajdhani Express to stop at Mulki.

    If I am not mistaken, Bantwal does not fall in the Konkan railway route.
