  5. Who cares for Belgaum. We including our politicians are busy in silly problems like border issue. Language issue, etc. Dont hv time to look in other imp. issues like TRAIN and PLANE services to Belgaum. Industrial sez, development in ind. areas etc. So who will forward expectations of Belgaumites in such budgets of state or central govt. So i think it is invain or wasting of ur precious time in such a huge expections for our beloved Unlucky BELGAUM.

  6. Our MLA’s were busy in organising cricket matches and Holi celebrations to entertain the people of Belgaum and make some fame. We should understand how and where had they time to think of a rail project or rail line or demand for New train. Not a single letter or approach to the railways for Belgaum.
    Well as expected by this rail budget. Nothing new in this budget as well. Rise in fare hike was expected (after 10 years),understandable may be, now that you have hiked the passenger fare at least maintain the trains more neat and clean. Give better service to people travelling. I think at least the Dwd-Bgm straight line should be taken up. The distance between these two cities is 75 km of which about 10 km track coming towards Bgm is already parallel to NH4 that makes it 65 km and if seriously taken up it can be completed in just about a years time or so. But who wants to do it ?
    As this Dwd-Bgm line is sent for approval. Would it get approved and how much time would it take to get approved and then how much time to implement the same. God save people of Belgaum.
    Till all this happens merry-go-round and round and round.

  7. What more can we expect?
    Belgaum has 3 MP’s
    Two busy in their business and colleges and societies, one in sugar factory..
    No common man MP..
    Britishers admired and gave importance to Belgaum than our politicians.

    • Hi Mahantesh , though it is sent for approval the project is on cost sharing basis of 50:50, but our state govt had only done survey the can atleast start the ground work on Belgaum station and Kitur station and bridge in Bellary Nullah and Mallaprabha river , other projects were done on behest of MP and MLA where in our guys (MP and MLA) are fast asleep in expiditing such initiatives …so wait for another ten years now for this lien to be reality,

  9. New MLA’s are making properties to secure their grand children future, MP’s as usual are not bothered as it makes no difference to them, one in making hospital, one in making colleges , new society and one in making and expanding sugar factory, and we all in hopes for nothing! All is a gimmick! all Govt’s. Also Belgaum will remain as it is for 100 years from now, only Bangalore, Mysore and Hubli will grow and have opportunities, there.. Kolhapur and all will grow.. all cities.. apart from Belgaum (Hubli, Kolhapur) have tonnes of trains connecting many junctions.. We have just one thing left, requests and requests to the GOVT’s.

  10. Any way ,Since Mr.Dinesh Trivedi is forced to resign? If Mukul Roy becomes Railway Minister, before passing the Railway Budget in the Parliament ,Our Hon.Minister Shri .K.H.Muniyappa , can do something for North Karnataka Region , Since ,Chalukya Express is extended to Pondichery ,and Solapur Yeshvantpur (via Gulbarga) train will be strated soon, Udyan Express can be diverted via Miraj and Hubli. Convey this message to Hon.MPS’S also
