It makes sense to run this train upto MIRAJ and back.
This will be convenient train for people in the district to reach district headquarters. Good job from our minister. Many good initiatives from Suresh Angadiji after becoming minister.
He can do one more favour to Belgaum by starting one AIR and/or FM radio station in the city. Many smaller cities have radio relay stations. How come Belgaum has been sidelined all these years? Let us all demand radio station for Belgaum. Hope our MP and MLAs will try for this and will give this new year gift to Belgaumites.
What about Hubli Pune intercity?
Also Kannada FM RADIO is required at Belgaum
I agree with Mr Jinesh Upadhye’s suggestion that the train should be extended up to Miraj where facilities exist for stabling and cleaning of the rakes.
We already have a miraj belgavi passenger
What is the purpose of running this so called janasadharan passenger at 2.45 in the afternoon from shedbal? Actually this train should have started in the morning from shedbal to Belgaum so that people from around the BELGAUM can reach Belgaum,Belgaum being commercially important,for their work.
Commencing a train according to public convenience would be great deal to both public and railways
