Mangalore Real Estate - Looking Up

Naveen - 15-OCT-2008

Real Estate prices in Mangalore have been increasing by leaps & bounds. An article in TOI today (15th/Oct) states that several 1-crore-plus apartment blocks are being constructed with heavy demand. This is astonishing since all Metros are facing a slump & prices have in fact dropped in certain areas, such as Whitefield in Bangalore.

Shirady Ghat damaged again!

We never seem to learn.... Shirday ghat is back to square one.

Neither the Bus Lobby want Trains to Mangalore nor does the Iron Ore/Lorry Lobby want a freight corridor. Both want to desperately use Shirady Ghat. This Shirady Ghat fiasco has become a symbol of how powerful lobbies have become in our "people's republic" of India. We we as a strong nation can rock America and the rest of the world by signing a nuclear deal, we do not even have to power to curtail lobbies in Karnataka.

Hi All

I think this is the first post on mangalore forum. However let me start this with a good cause.

The road near the KSRTC Junction in Bejai Mangalore is in such a pathetic condtion, its worst than the Ghat Section roads. Please make them proper so that at least the vehilces can move on them.

Shiradi Ghat Road

Bangalore Mangalore train - Lalu's admission?

silkboard - 9-DEC-2007

First off, thanks Vasanth for the informative update on the long awaited train. Hopefully they will complete the Bangalore Hassan line soon, the zig zag route via Mysore (go south) and Hassan (come back north) takes a bit too much time (12 hours).

BTW, I read a news-piece on this train in ToI this morning, and something in there just amazed me. The piece talks about Mr Lalu Yadav flagging the Bangalore train off at Mangalore, and how he kept the audience in splits during his speech. Now, for the interesting part:

"When Lalu mentioned that he knew the reasons behind the delay and put the onus on the bus and truck lobby, there was a loud roar of approval"

Mysore-track doubling is fine, what about the single line to Mangalore?

GVK started that active discussion to inquire about Mysore track doubling progress. What about Mangalore line? Any idea what is up here?
