Mangaluru Railway Transfers to Mysuru Division to Streamline Operations
Mangaluru's railway network officially transferred from Southern Railway's Palakkad division to South Western Railway's Mysuru division on October 1, ending fragmented control across three jurisdictions. This change aims to improve coordination, especially for freight linked to New Mangalore Port. Mysuru division officials, led by Additional Divisional Railway Manager Shammas Hameed, have reviewed operations and ensured resources and staff readiness for a smooth transition. Union Minister V Somanna highlighted the move as fulfilling longstanding regional demands.
