    One more Joke Bomb from the Railways. To please the protestors, they have announced the date of 8th December 2007. On that day, nothing will happen and we so called people of Coastal Region will blindly believe these politicians words and withdraw our agitation. On 8th December, Railway Officials will blast one more bomb saying that the Railway guard has found a dead King Cobra beside the Railway Track near the Subramanya Ghat Section and to remove that they have to bring the Crane from Delhi so that the inaguration of Train service has been postponed and we request the People of Coastal karnataka, please withdraw the strike and go to your house and Dine, Drink, Dance and Sleep. And, we do the same.

    No one should believe Mr.Oscar Fernandes. He has promised (assured) many times before only to mislead people. Do not believe him and I am sure nothing is going to happen, leave alone the beginning of a train between Bangalore and Mangalore. These corrupt and shameless politicians get lot of money from vested interests, and they are least interested in the welfare of the people. This will be one more promise which will not be kept for sure. If our local politicians were interested in the welfare of the people, the condition of roads of the coastal region would not have been so deplorable, including the Shiradi Ghat. Hope for the best.

    One more assurance with no assurance for action nor accountability ! The Minister had earlier given similar assurance of starting the service almost two years ago. This happens only in Karnataka more so the coastal region - the railway development is reserved for north, in particular, Bihar!
