How railway projects work?

* Quote a very low amount & win tender (L1).
* After the contract is awarded, 'scope of work' expands & pushing up project cost.
* Delay the project for years, then seek cost escalation & revised estimates.
* No blacklisting of underperforming contractors & reputed firms stay away from such tenders.

Rinse & repeat for the next project.

The ongoing monsoon has once again highlighted the difficulties faced by passengers at Kabaka Puttur Railway Station. Although the much-awaited platform shelter extension project was sanctioned and announced several months ago, work has still not commenced on the ground. As a result, passengers continue to face inconvenience during heavy rains, with large portions of the platform remaining exposed to the weather.

The situation becomes particularly challenging during the arrival and departure of long-distance trains, when hundreds of passengers are forced to walk through uncovered sections of the platform. The station parking area has also turned muddy and waterlogged due to inadequate drainage, creating further inconvenience for passengers, senior citizens and those carrying luggage.

Kabaka Puttur serves as an important railway station for Puttur and neighbouring regions. Passenger traffic has grown steadily over the years, yet the sanctioned infrastructure improvements remain pending. The photographs taken during the current monsoon clearly demonstrate the urgent need for early execution of the approved works.

We request @SWRRLY and @DrmMys to kindly expedite the commencement of the approved platform shelter extension work and also take necessary steps to improve the station parking area, drainage facilities and overall passenger amenities before the monsoon intensifies further.
Passengers have waited long enough. The sanctioned project should now move from paper to reality.
@RailwaySeva, @RailMinIndia please take actions as soon as possible.

South Western Railway has announced diversion of 17 trains on June 6-8 due to engineering works between Krishnarajapuram and Whitefield.

@NiranjanC70085 @SWRRLY @NammaRailways Chikkamagalur doesn't have proper coach water filling facility so water filling will be done at ASK & they will give priority to Dharwad VB. So it arrives ASK around 6:30am & departs around 7:45am. Here is the last 4 running details of 17423.

[Trains of India 🇮🇳 @trainwalebhaiya]

For months, @AshwiniVaishnaw, @Tejasvi_Surya Ji, and many other political leaders hyped a new "SUPERFAST TRAIN" between Mumbai and Bengaluru. The public was overjoyed with this announcement, as the Mumbai–Bengaluru sector was finally going to get its 2nd dedicated train after 30 years, and that too a fast one. But what did people actually get?

A "SUPERSLOW TRAIN" taking 24 hours to cover the 1,208 km distance between Mumbai and Bengaluru via Hubballi, with an average speed of just 50 km/h. Even by Indian Railways' own definition, trains with an average speed above 55 km/h should fall under the superfast category. What's even worse is that it is not even a daily train, it runs only twice a week :)

Yesterday, the new train was flagged off with huge celebrations, as if it was some great achievement, that too in 2026. Imagine spending crores on doubling, electrification, and track upgrades, only to introduce a SUPERSLOW train like this.

I had much better expectations. We all had much better expectations. But you (the government) failed us "SUPER-DISAPPOINTED!"

ಉತ್ತರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕಕ್ಕೆ ವೇಗದ ಸಂಪರ್ಕ: ಯಶವಂತಪುರ–ವಿಜಯಪುರ ವಿಶೇಷ ರೈಲು ಸಂಚಾರ ಆರಂಭ

ಮೇ 16ರಿಂದ ಆರಂಭವಾಗಿ ಮುಂದಿನ 7 ವಾರಾಂತ್ಯಗಳ ಕಾಲ, ಅಂದರೆ ಜೂನ್ 28ರವರೆಗೆ ಯಶವಂತಪುರ–ವಿಜಯಪುರ ವಿಶೇಷ ರೈಲು ಸಂಚಾರ ಆರಂಭವಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಉತ್ತರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನರಿಗೆ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿ ತರಲಿದೆ.

ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ ಪ್ರವೇಶವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಸಂಚರಿಸಲಿರುವ ಈ ವಿಶೇಷ ರೈಲು, ತುಮಕೂರು, ದಾವಣಗೆರೆ ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ ಆಯ್ದ 9 ನಿಲ್ದಾಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ನಿಲುಗಡೆ ಹೊಂದಿರಲಿದೆ. ಇದರಿಂದ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಿಂದ ವಿಜಯಪುರಕ್ಕೆ ಕೇವಲ 11 ಗಂಟೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತಲುಪಬಹುದಾಗಿದ್ದು, ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳು, ಉದ್ಯೋಗಿಗಳು, ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿಗಳು ಹಾಗೂ ಕುಟುಂಬಗಳ ಪ್ರಯಾಣ ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ಸುಗಮ ಮತ್ತು ವೇಗವಾಗಲಿದೆ.

ಶನಿವಾರ ಯಶವಂತಪುರದಿಂದ ಹೊರಡುವ ಈ ರೈಲು, ಭಾನುವಾರ ಸಂಜೆ ವಿಜಯಪುರದಿಂದ ಮರಳಲಿದ್ದು ವಾರಾಂತ್ಯದ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರಿಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಅನುಕೂಲ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸಲಿದೆ.

ಈ ಸೇವೆ ಪ್ರಾಯೋಗಿಕ ಹಂತಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಸೀಮಿತವಾಗದೆ, ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು–ವಿಜಯಪುರ ನಡುವಿನ ವೇಗದ ರೈಲು ಸಂಚಾರ ಶಾಶ್ವತ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯಾಗಿ ರೂಪುಗೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು. ಕೇವಲ 10 ಗಂಟೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಜಯಪುರ–ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಪರ್ಕ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸುವ ವೇಗದ ರೈಲು ಸೇವೆ ಜಾರಿಗೊಳಿಸುವಂತೆ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಮೇಲೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಒತ್ತಾಯ ಮುಂದುವರೆಯಲಿದೆ.

Sir @JoshiPralhad, this is not the superfast train we have been waiting for all these years. The train still takes almost a full day to reach the destination. Kindly intervene and ensure a daily service with a journey time of 21 hours or less. @JagadishShettar @VSOMANNA_BJP
