Mangaolore, June 25: Two more unreserved railway ticket issuing counters managed by private agencies will come up in the city within three months.

Announcing this at a meeting here on Friday, S.K. Raina, Divisional Railway Manager, Phalghat Division, Southern Railway, said at present only one such counter functioned near the Mangalore Central Railway Station here. It issued 1,000 tickets a day.

He said the location of two counters proposed was yet to be finalised. But they would be opened near the Mangalore Central Railway Station. If there was good response to them, more such counters would be opened in the city.

Southern Railway had named those counters as Jansadharan Ticket Booking Sewak (JTBS) counters. People were not allowed to reserve tickets at such counters. Those who managed those counters collected one rupee in excess of travel fare as approved by Southern Railway.

Reservation counters

He said the ticket reservation facility at Mangalore Central station would be shifted to the entry side of the station.

The facility would be housed in a building to be built at an estimated cost of Rs. 1.5 crore.

A proposal to this effect had been sent to the Southern Railway headquarters for approval.

Mr. Raina said it had been proposed to build two more platforms and associated facilities at the central station at an estimated cost of Rs. 16 crore.

It needed approval from the Railway Board. The proposal would be sent to be included in the 2012-13 Railway Budget.

Nalin Kumar Kateel, Member of Parliament, Mangalore, convened another meeting to discuss and resolve pending railway issues in Dakshina Kannada. It was the second meeting convened by the MP.

Mr. Kateel said such meetings would be held once in three months.

Udupi, Jun 28: The Padubidri police have booked cases against two patients of Novel Coronavirus for not revealing their primary contacts and hiding their travel history.

According to DHO Sudhirchandra Sooda, two siblings from Hejamadi in Padubidri had tested positive for COVID-19 recently. After shifting to the hospital, when the officials asked them about their primary contacts and travel history, the patients furnished false information.

When the officials collected information from various sources, they realised that the duo had travelled to Bantwal, Kasargod, Ullal and other places in Dakshina Kannada, said Dr Sooda. Hence, the district administration decided to file cases against them, he added.
