Champaran HumSafar Express : इन अजनबी सी राहों में, जो तू मेरा हमसफ़र हो जाये, बीत जाए पल भर में ये वक़्त, और हसीन सफ़र हो जाये. - Piyush Singh

I do feel that one more connection from KR to interior Karnataka is definitely required. But at least at a first glance, looks like UBL-Ankola project will have problems with environmental clearance as the area is very heavily forested and is a bio-diversity hot-spot and also the Western Ghats are much wider here. Compared to this, the Kolhapur-KR connection seems to be much easier with far less bio-diversity hot-spots than the UBL-Ankola region, and a much more easier terrain to work with.

Kolhapur - Vaibhavwadi (Rajapur) new line is much required...

---

supreme court has ruled out permission so no one can execute ubl-ankl

Ya bro that's what I said.
This should first be built and then the priority should be given to Chiplun-Miraj line.

Atleast Railways shld give green signal for Talguppa-Honavara new line then it'll make shimoga to connect with KR, more over SBC-CSTM will get faster connectivity.
