The Hyderabad Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (HKCCI) has taken exception to what it called “a deliberate diversion and deviation of Yeshwantpur-Katra Superfast Weekly Express” to deny train facility to the people of Karnataka to Katra in Jammu.
In a letter faxed to Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, a copy of which was released to the press here on Friday, HKCCI president Radhakrishna Raghoji and secretary Amarnath Patil said that the new train was sanctioned by the former Railway Minister M. Mallikarjun Kharge to enable the people of Karnataka, particularly those from the Hyderabad-Karnataka region, to get a direct train to Vaishno Devi Temple near Katra.

train was originally scheduled to pass through Raichur, Wadi, and Kalaburagi.
However, the letter said that the railways had deliberately diverted the route and the train would now run via Secunderabad, Nagpur, Jhansi and Delhi. “This has been done to deprive Kannadigas of rail facility to the Vaishno Devi Temple.”
The HKCCI demanded that the Railway Minister restore the original route and threatened to launch an agitation if their demand was not met.

Re# 1356381-125              
We are back to square one! Question of terminating Basava at GR has arrived just because there are not many takers from GR-BGK! You can't make out just by looking at the bookings as around 50% of GNWL seats are booked by GR people from BJP and then change BP. So out of 200 seats from BGK-BJP almost 100 are booked from GR. So why run an entire train for 300 km for say 200 people?
Tell me one thing - Are BGK/BJP people using basava to it's potential at this moment?? If you say yes, lets stop discussion. If you say No, then tell what's wrong in short termination as people are not benefited even now??

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
