Railway Dept had assured that Talaguppa-Bangalore train stopped at Haranahalli, Arasalu stations en route Shimoga to Talaguppa. The promise was not fulfilled.
As Honnali-Byndoor road was located near Haranahalli and Arasalu railway station, passengers from Honnali, Shikaripur, Hosanagar, and Kundapur taluks would be benefited if the train stopped here.
