Mangalore, Oct 31: ‘I will go on indefinite hunger strike from Monday November 12, till the demands of Mangalore Railway Development Action Committee are fulfilled’, announced P V Mohan, convener of Committee, here at the press conference on Wednesday October 31.
 
He urged the Indian Railway authorities to begin Mangalore- Bangalore train services at the earliest and resume ‘Janshatabdhi express to Mumbai which was discontinued in the recent past, to form a separate division for Mangalore in South Western Railway (SWR) with headquarter in Mysore, to extend train services till Bhatkal and to build over-bridge at Bajal- Padil railway crossing.
 
A meeting will be held on Thursday November1 at Revenue Building, located in the premises of Deputy Commissioner’s office, to discuss the strategy to carry out the non-violent strike ahead. All the alike and serious minded citizens are requested to attend the meeting, he informed.
 
The delay in beginning Mangalore- Bangalore train services would not be justified, since it can contribute healthy profit of about Rs 13.5 crore to the annual income of the Indian Railways, he backed his decision.
 
The lobby of vested interests and powerful politicians is delaying the beginning of train services on Mangalore – Bangalore railway route, he alleged.

    We, Karnataka people have been silent in the past. We have no local - Railway station employees. Most of them are Keralites, speaking Malayalam. We need to demand locals at Railway Stations in Karnataka. Even at other places/offices in Mangalore, we have more Keralites, than the Karnataka people in Kerala. We need to create this awareness for our locals. Also, Matsyagandha does not have 'general ladies compartment' on Mangalore- Mumbai route. Why is this injustice on Mangalore-Mumbai route to the ladies, who have to travel on emergency basis?
