Mangaluru Railway Region Transitions from Southern to South Western Railway Zone
The Mangaluru Railway Region transitioned from Southern Railway's Palakkad Division to South Western Railway's Mysuru Division effective midnight of September 30-October 1. This change aims to better serve Karnataka's railway needs, addressing past concerns about Mangaluru's alignment with Kerala-focused operations. Mysuru division officials, led by Additional Divisional Railway Manager Shammas Hameed, conducted inspections and coordinated resources to ensure smooth, uninterrupted train operations and passenger services during the transition.
