Puttur, Feb 14: In a communiqué addressed to the chamber of commerce and industry here, general manager (transport) of Konkan Railway Corporation has said that introduction of a new passenger train between Bangalore and Karwar is not feasible for the present.
The letter addressed to the president of the chamber assigns the reason for the same as non-existence of terminal facility in Karwar railway station. The official has pointed out that said terminal is necessary in railway stations that are either starting or destination points of trains.
The letter has been written in reply to a letter earlier addressed to Konkan Railway Corporation by the local unit of the chamber, seeking introduction of train between Bangalore and Karwar via Mangalore for the convenience of the people of the coastal districts.
