The chances have arrived that The existing DD running on the konkan route can be discontinued due to introduction of TEJAS EXPRESS. The locals and politicians has opposed the move as the tejas doesnot serve most of important stations of Konkan. Moreover, the overnight trains to Konkan originating from mumbai (konkan kanya express and Tutari express) are jam pack with high waiting list. Modifying existing DD into UDAY and changing the originating station to DR will give this train a great patronage. Kindly give the suggestions and flag the train.
PS: The news articles states that the locals and politicians will oppose the move of discontinuing the service of DD exp and demanding kankavali and Sawantwadi as a halt for tejas.
