Title - Proposed train to Mangalore hits a roadblock

Anil Kumar Agarwal, Divisional Railway Manager, South Western Railway, Bangalore, has said that the proposed special train between Yeshwantpur and Mangalore will be run only after sorting out issues connected to the “path of the train.” He clarified here on Monday that that the services were not cancelled on account of the election code of conduct for the bypolls to Mandya and Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha constituencies.
