Pamban Sethu - இது தான் நம்முடைய ராமர் சேது - Darnish C

This is with reference to my entry No.90031 of today about the newly introduced train Ernakulam Pune Fast Special, and the reply thereof ( both reproduced below):
- "This is another instance of Kerala appropriating all the trains/routes to itself. This train starting from Ernakulam halts at 7 stations in Kerala, ONLY 1 in Karnataka, 1 in Goa, and 2 in Maharashtra before touching Pune. Even minister of state in Railways Muniyappa from Karnataka is a helpless spectator."
