The driving force behind this initiative was Shri Iranna Kadadi, a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, who played a pivotal role in bringing this much-anticipated train service to Belagavi. Unfortunately, due to his prior commitments, he was unable to be present at the grand inauguration ceremony.
The inaugural run of the Belagavi-Mysuru Express witnessed an enthusiastic response from the community, with nearly 120 passengers embarking on their journey from Belagavi to Mysuru. This turnout was particularly impressive, considering it was a weekday, showcasing the demand and excitement for improved railway connectivity in the region.
The extension of the Dharwad-Mysuru Express to Belagavi is expected to not only facilitate travel for residents but also boost tourism and trade in the region. Passengers can now enjoy a seamless and comfortable rail journey between these two prominent cities, further strengthening the railway network in Karnataka.
