Objective of this petition is to convey public demand to government of India and state to start new train facility in Bijapur,Karnataka. These route will connect Northen part of Karnataka to Western part of the Karnataka and Capital of Tamilnadu. Through this petition we are asking Indian railways to run train in the following route. 1. Bijapur-Mysore via Hubli,Mangalore and Bijapur-Chennai via Gadag and Bellary. These new train will help to connect many historical places of Karnataka(viz Bijapur,Badami,Aihole,Gadag,Beluru,Halebedu and Mysore).This will boost tourism activity. It also create few direct and indirect jobs in respective places. 2. Bijapur-Chennai via Gadag and Bellary. Chennai has many IT and auto industry related companies.Chennai has US consulate too.There are lot of software engineer from North karnataka work in Chennai and they often find difficulty in reaching Chennai. They need to take bus till Bangalore and then train or bus from Bangalore. We have shortest path to reach Chennai but due to unavailability trains people from this region finding it difficulty. This helps lot of people to reach Chennai quickly and helps tourism (Bijapur-Hampi-Chennai).

I am sending these signatures directly to the regional railway office this week. The lack of direct transit to Chennai remains a massive burden for our local commuters.

My son works in IT in Chennai and has to take bus to Bangalore first. It takes forever. Fix this.

Finally someone said it. Traveling to Chennai from North Karnataka is such a nightmare right now especially with kids. Need direct trains urgent.

YES PLEASE. We struggle so much to get to Mysore to visit family. Train service is very bad in this part of state.

About time! Way too much focus on Bangalore. The rest of Karnataka exists too.

This would help tourism so much. People want to see Bijapur and Hampi but getting there is too hard.
