FalaknumaSF~ 4443 blog postsI've seen that the train boards mostly have Mangaluru in the name but the train announcements all throughout kerala refer to it as Mangalapuram. Can it be a local name for the city? It isn't official but many people do refer to it as Mangalapuram. What is the origin of this name?

If you start popularising all local unconventional names, there is no end. Cannot comment about Hyderabad. But Kovai, Nellai, Trichy, Thanjai, Kanchi are the popular / short names for their full names Coimbatore, Tirunelveli, Tiruchirappalli, Thanjavur, Kanchipuram.
Railways should refer the names by their official names only - not the way how people in neighbouring state call. Just because Mangalore comes under Kerala's Palakkad division, can they change the name of a Karnataka city? 🤔
