KCCI opposes extension of Bengaluru-Kannur Express via Mangaluru Central Jn. to KozhikodeThe Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) in Dakshina Kannada has opposed the extension of the Bengaluru-Kannur Express train to Kozhikode. KCCI President Ananthesh V. Prabhu, in a letter to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, argued that this extension would negatively impact residents of Udupi and Dakshina Kannada. He stated that...

He also highlighted the potential for higher travel costs as people would be forced to use buses due to occupied seats. Mr. Prabhu further expressed concern for the elderly, disabled, and sick, as bus travel would be tiring, expensive, and inconvenient. He suggested that instead of extending the train to Kozhikode, the Ministry should introduce dedicated train services between Bengaluru and Mangaluru.
