Kerala legislators have voiced opposition to the proposed transfer of the Mangaluru railway division and announced a satyagraha in Palakkad.
A group of Members of Parliament from Kerala publicly rejected the government's plan to relocate the Mangaluru railway division. The MPs said the move would affect the region's railway administration and have voiced their dissent in the Lok Sabha.
In response, the legislators announced they will stage a satyagraha in the city of Palakkad, a key railway hub in Kerala. The planned peaceful protest is intended to press the authorities to reconsider the division shift.
The announcement was reported by Mangalore Today, highlighting the growing political resistance in Kerala over the railway reorganisation.
No further details on the timing or scale of the satyagraha have been released, and officials have not commented on the MPs' demand.
The issue underscores the sensitivity of railway administrative changes in the southern states, where local representatives closely monitor infrastructure decisions.
