The most-anticipated Kalaburagi-SMVT Bengaluru-Kalaburagi Vande Bharat Express train service (Train Nos 22231/22232) will be launched on March 12. This train will have commercial stops in Raichur, Guntakal, Anantpur and Yelahanka.
However, the decision of the Railways to not have a commercial halt in Yadgir has caused a huge disappointment among the general public and activists in Yadgir.
On Sunday, activists of a pro-Kannada organization, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (Narayana Gowda group), submitted a memorandum addressed to the Railway Minister through officials at Yadgir Railway Station, demanding a commercial halt for Vande Bharat Express at Yadgir for the convenience of passengers.
