Title: Need to extend Matsyagandhi Express Train NO. 2619/2620 from Mangalore to Kannur.
SHRI P. KARUNAKARAN (KASARGOD): The train passengers of Kerala especially Northern part of the state are facing difficulty due to non-availability of sufficient trains especially from Mangalore to Southern Kerala.
The express Train No. 2619/2620 which is running from Bangalore to Mangalore has a halting time of 10 hours in Mangalore. The distance between Kannur and Mangalore is about 150 KM, hardly two hours to cover the distance. It would be helpful to the people of Northern Kerala if the Matsyagandhi Express Train No. 2619/2620 is extended from Mangalore to Kannur.
