Grievance Description :
Respected Sir, There are many people who travel from Kolhapur/Sangli/Pandharpur to Hyderabad daily. At least 15 buses ply through this route daily with full occupancy. There is an urgent need of good railway connectivity between these two regions. At present Kolhapur Hyderabad express is running via Hubli Guntakal route which is very long route (998 KLMs and takes 23 hours) it is very inconvenient and nobody from this region are benefited by this train. We the people from Kolhapur-Sangli-Pandharpur region request you to please divert this train or start a new train via Kurduwadi Solapur as soon as possible, which should be overnight in both the directions (this is short route and a overnight train covering this distance in 12 hrs is easily possible.) Hyderabad to Solapur is 335 KLMS which takes around 5-6 Hours. Solapur to Kolhapur is 315 KLMS which takes around 4 hours, so total journey can be covered in 10 hours. The Broad Gauge work (KURDUVADI - PANDHARPUR MIRAJ JN) is complete many trains are running on the new route. We can understand the present train is very useful for Hubli, Bellary, Hospet so please short terminate it at hubli so that platform will be available for
new requested train. Sir, we hope you will consider our request seriously and start the new train immediately
