According to MoS Railways Suresh Angadi, Dudhsagar remained neglected for long. I was stunned to watch the waterfalls today when I landed in Dudhsagar with my family. Measures are being taken by the Railway Department to make the place conducive for tourists.
It will benefit the tourist visiting from Belgaum as they can reach Dudsagar in the morning and leave in the evening. I wish it could benefit Goan as well similarly.
Sunday most of the time everyone use to go outside for enjoyment. If the train will run on Sundays is most useful
Awesome ? Congo ? but must be daily for people working to then too it will benefit
Hope MoS Railways Mr. Suresh Angadi travels by train more with his family
