Feeling bored in the Train - talk to a RailFan. You'll WISH the train gets late.

And Mangaluru Junction which is under SR Zone of Palakkad Division,should be Merged under SWR Zone under Mysuru Division which will benefit Mangaloreans.As Mangalore is very close to Kerala state,Even if they merge under Malabar Railway Zone which is a proposed Zone of Kerala state will not affect Mangalore people.If Mangalore is Merged Under Proposed Malabar Railway Zone.Mangalore may become a separate division under Malabar railway Zone constituting Kasargod,Kannur , Kozhikode and Malappuram districts under this division and Shoranur-Nilambur Section and Dindigul-Palakkad-Shoranur-Thrissur-Aluva will be under Palakkad Division and Ernakulam-kottayam-Kayamkulam section and Ernakulam-Alapuzzha-Kayamkulam section and Kollam junction and Tiruvananthapuram station should be under Tiruvananthapuram division only and Nagarcoil and Kanyakumari Districts of Tamilanadu state will also be a part under Tiruvananthapuram Division of Proposed Malabar Railway Zone ,But the Zonal Head Quarters of Proposed Malabar Railway Zone should be located at "Ernakulam South Junction Only".In this way no one will...

be dominated.Every one will get priority.
For Example East Coast Railway Zone Head Quarter is situated at Bhubaneshwar the capital city of Odisha state.But Bhubaneshwar is under Khurda Road Railway Division of ECOR Zone.And East Coast Railway Zone is small Railway Zone with 3 divisions only.Then what is the problem in creating in new Proposed "Malabar Railway Zone " for Kerala state?
Suppose If you take SECR Zone.This Zone is Created After the Formation of Chattisgarh state in the year 2003,with Zonal Head Quarters located at Bilaspur.But the Capital city of Chattisgarh State is Raipur.In the same manner for the proposed Malabar Railway Zone for Kerala state,The Zonal HQ should be located at Ernakulam South Junction.
Such a Small state Goa got Railway Zone named it as " Konkan Railway" including with Konkan Region of Maharastra and a Parts of Karnataka state.HQ located at "Navi Mumbai".
Kerala the eldest state of India was formed on November 1st 1956 along with the south states of Karnataka and Former Undivided AP.Still Kerala is under SR Zone for 61 years time period.And Moreover Kerala is the country's highest literate state.
The states which were formed recently 15years ago like Chattisgarh got a separate Railway Zone with 3 Railway divisions and Even the New Divided AP state is also demanding for separate Railway Zone.
Then Why can't Keralites demand for a separate Railway Zone?The Drawback in Kerala state is that there are no strong political leaders and no Cabinette Ministers hailing from this state.That's the Reason why kerala is given less priority in case of Railways and in certain cases.
Let us Hope for a new Zone for Kerala State.
