Mangaluru Railway Region to Join South Western Railway's Mysuru Division from October
The Indian Railway Ministry has approved transferring the Mangaluru Railway Region entirely under the South Western Railway's Mysuru Division from October 1, resolving a long-standing demand. This change aims to eliminate administrative confusion, improve coordination, and enhance railway infrastructure and connectivity in coastal Karnataka. The decision follows sustained efforts by local MPs, including Capt. Brijesh Chowta, and support from Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Minister of State V. Somanna. The move also anticipates future integration of the Konkan Railway with SWR.
