@Sharanyashettyy Goa is still good if we know where to go.... People are behind liquor and casinos. Cut down liquor economy & Goa will heal & be frequented by genuine travellers. Better to come out of comfort zone and explore freely without depending on expensive cabs and star hotels.

Oho!!! Looks like @PadmajaJoshi is in “no prisoners” mode. Absolutely brutal takedown here

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

@dkdistrictrail You are overhyping " Cascading delays" of trains. 2 trains in your Screenshot already shows delay on arrival at SKLR, infact with time gain at SBHR. CLT train has got only added delay of 30 mins post SKLR.
Stop being selfish & crying like jealous people and troubling our train!

1. Just got off a call with @UnSubtleDesi. I couldn't be happier for her and both of us couldn't help but discuss the harrowing days of post poll violence in West Bengal in 2021. So I am going to share what happened five years ago just so ppl know what happened. #WestBengal2026.

He was expecting support in a narrative against the BJP, but instead was confronted with a horrific account of a brother’s brutal murder, allegedly at the hands of TMC goons.

The pain and resolve of sisters like her reveal a shocking story of the horrors that West Bengal has endured.

@ritujoon2j Why go to places that are already overly saturated, what the logic behind so many people going at places where only heavy crowd exists?

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

@KRCL_UsersVoice DK lobby will cry heavily due to their unwavering support for Keralam Lobby who want to disrupt our important coastal train Panchaganga which is a high priority train.

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

There are other trains also running with more delay than this train like 16585, 17377 but you are using ChatGpt daily to cry for for a Keralam train while soft targeting our train 16595/6 No surprises why we call you Keralam Lobby
16585 & 17377 avg delay is more than kerala train

[Dakshina Kannada District Railway Users @dkdistrictrail]

Delays on the Bengaluru–Mangaluru route are worsening day by day. Avg delay has crossed 40 min at Subrahmanya Road and over 1 hour at Mangaluru Central. Even today, 16511 is running 20+ min late, now a daily issue.
The root cause is the shifting of crossing for 16595/96 from Shiribagilu to Subrahmanya Road, which is disrupting multiple trains including Tr No.16511, Tr No. 16585, Tr No. 56625 & Tr No. 56626.
Instead of altering well-established schedules of Tr No. 16511 & Tr No. 16585, it is more practical to revise timings of Tr No. 16595/96 or restore the earlier crossing system at Shiribagilu to avoid cascading delays.
Thousands of students, employees & traders depend on this route daily. Kindly take immediate corrective action.

@dkdistrictrail Stop crying and blaming other trains.

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

Stop lying under your teeth with heavy bias against 16595/6. Why don't you consider this train also as lifeline of coastal Karnataka? Selective stepmotherly treatment is also very bad. Just because 16511 goes to kerala you are over pampering it. 16511 has an On time record at CLT

[Dakshina Kannada District Railway Users @dkdistrictrail]

Recent reports and the ground situation clearly show increasing delays in key trains like Tr No. 16511 KSR Bengaluru-Kozhikode Express and Tr No.16585 SMVT Bengaluru-Murudeshwar Express, which were once considered highly reliable lifelines between Bengaluru and Coastal Karnataka. Daily commuters, including students, employees and small business operators, are now facing significant hardship due to consistent delays, making it difficult to reach workplaces, colleges and important commitments on time.

The issue has worsened after the shifting of the crossing point of Train 16595/96 KSR Bengaluru-Karwar Panchaganga Express from Shiribagilu to Subrahmanya Road. This operational change has disrupted the smooth movement of trains on this section, leading to cascading delays that are affecting not just these trains but also connecting services in the Mangaluru–Subrahmanya corridor. What was once a dependable route is now becoming unpredictable.

Passengers are also concerned about further proposed operational changes, including alterations in train handling and delayed handover timings. Such changes may further degrade punctuality instead of improving it, undermining the long-standing reliability of these services.

We sincerely urge @SWRRLY to immediately review the current crossing arrangement and consider restoring the earlier system at Shiribagilu or properly rescheduling Train 16595/96 to avoid interference with other services. At the same time, the existing schedule of Train 16511, especially the early morning handover at Padil around 6:50 AM, must be maintained without disruption.

This route is not just another railway line but a daily lifeline for thousands of people across coastal Karnataka. We request @SWRRLY, @DrmMys sir to take urgent corrective action and ensure punctual, reliable services for the public.

@dkdistrictrail A really great decision by SWR to bypass Mangalore city as they very well know that there is huge time loss taking in and out the train. We from coastal Karnataka are very happy about this schedule 💥

@guru3ti The only fastest connectivity is the airways...... Need a different airport in Udupi under Udaan scheme

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

@guru3ti We must focus on economical Udaan services.... Need Airport at Udupi which would ensure the only fastest connectivity to Bengaluru

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

@KiranKS Because Mangaluru is captured by Kerala lobby because of revenue it earns through port and other industrial sidings.

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

@jaysonblr @guru3ti Relevance?

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

@ahaanpandit How does VB help here?

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

@guru3ti Vb is not going to help in faster connectivity

[Vishal Shenoy @AlcoAmour]

@BelagaviRailway @drmubl Is that a priority?
