DanielSebastian~ 4399 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?

Confusion of this name is an issue. People rarely pay attention to Train numbers. Perhaps the other name should gain more popularity as well. Like Kolkata - Calcutta, Kalakattha in Telugu or Rajamundry, Rajamahendravaram and so on. Should we introduce this kind of local pronounciations in other states as well is another question that can be asked?
