The Paschima Karavali Railway Yatri Abhivriddhi Samithi has said that it is upon the samithi's representation that MP Nalin Kumar Kateel wrote to South Western Railway seeking detention of Karwar-Bengaluru Express at Subrahmanya Road to ensure equal justice to patrons of Karwar and Mangaluru regions.
Samithi president G. Hanumantha Kamath said that since the Mangaluru-Bengaluru train alone was being detained at Subrahmanya Road in both the directions to give way for Karwar trains, it demanded detaining the Karwar Express too in one direction.
