The Hindu  

Residents of Belapu and surrounding villages on Friday, March 24, urged Konkan Railway Corporation to upgrade the Padubidri Railway Station to accommodate Express trains and rename it as “Paniyur Station”, in a memorandum submitted to the Station Master at the Station in Belapu Village, Udupi district. Leading the residents, Belapu Gram Panchayat former president and SCDCC Bank Director Deviprasad Shetty said that Padubidri Station serves almost all areas of Kaup taluk and should be developed to handle Express trains. Besides restoring halts for these trains at Padubidri, the Railways should ensure halts for the Mangaluru Central-Mumbai CSMT Matsyagandha Express, Mangaluru Junction-Mumbai CSMT Superfast Express and Bengaluru-Karwar day as well as night Express, he demanded. Submitting the memorandum to Station Master Ganapathi Naik, the residents urged KRCL to fulfill their demands within one month, failing which they would stage massive protest and ‘Rail Roko’.
