Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 1 (IANS) Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday announced that the proposed South Bullet Train corridor would connect Bengaluru with Hyderabad, Amaravati, and Chennai, while a Vande Bharat train service between Bengaluru and Mangaluru would be introduced in the coming weeks after the completion of electrification and testing work. In his remarks on the occasion of the flagging off of the Vande Bharat Sleeper service between Bengaluru and Mumbai on the occasion of Karnataka Rajyotsava, Vaishnaw said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had approved the South Bullet Train corridor, which would integrate major technology and economic centres in the region and create a multiplier effect for southern states. He said the proposed corridor would significantly reduce travel time, with the journey between Bengaluru and Chennai expected to take just 73 minutes and Bengaluru and Hyderabad around two hours and 10 minutes. These two cities, Bengaluru and Chennai, will become one city, he said, adding that the connectivity would strengthen economic integration among major cities in southern India. Vaishnaw said that as India moved towards the goal of Viksit Bharat, the Prime Minister had approved 4,000 km of bullet train corridors, and another 3,000 km would be announced in the coming days. He expressed confidence that the proposed Bengaluru-Pune bullet train corridor, which would cover the northern parts of Karnataka, would also become a reality. Referring to the demand for better railway connectivity along the Karnataka coast, the Union Minister said Mangaluru was an important city, and that electrification and testing work on the Bengaluru-Mangaluru route would be completed in the next few weeks. We will have a Mangaluru-Bengaluru Vande Bharat train. That will connect the entire region with very good, high-class connectivity, he said. Vaishnaw also announced plans for another Vande Bharat Sleeper service in Karnataka, which would connect Bengaluru with northern Karnataka, travel towards Hubballi, and proceed to Pune and Mumbai. On the route of the newly introduced Vande Bharat Sleeper service between Bengaluru and Mumbai, he said the train would travel from Bengaluru through Guntakal in Andhra Pradesh before re-entering Karnataka through Raichur, Yadgir, and Kalaburagi and proceeding to Maharashtra. He said the route would cover a significant portion of North Karnataka, which had not received adequate railway connectivity earlier. The route was finalised after consultations with Union Ministers Pralhad Joshi, H.D. Kumaraswamy, and V. Somanna. Recalling the commitment behind the introduction of the Vande Bharat Sleeper service, Vaishnaw said November 1, Karnataka Rajyotsava, was an auspicious occasion to launch the service. He said the Prime Minister had guided the Railways to keep the common man and middle-class families in mind while introducing modern railway services, ensuring that the poorest of the poor, youth and women also benefited. Keeping this in mind, three different types of trains Namo Bharat, Amrit Bharat, and Vande Bharat have been introduced, and their services are being made available to people, he said. Vaishnaw said the new sleeper service would connect Bengaluru, the country's technology and start-up capital, with Mumbai, the financial capital. During his address, Union Minister Joshi stood up to congratulate Vaishnaw following his announcement on the proposed bullet train corridor. Subsequently, the leaders joined hands and raised slogans of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. Vaishnaw attributed the expansion of railway infrastructure and improved connectivity to the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, saying the initiatives were contributing to building a new image for India.

Blackmail plot: Siddaramaiah names Congress leader, journalist in sting op case
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 23 (IANS) Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) Member Siddaramaiah on Friday named a journalist and Congress leader, Krupa Alva of Mangaluru, as those allegedly behind the sting operation, describing it as a systematic conspiracy to blackmail him and tarnish his image through false allegations. Speaking to the media at the Suttur branch mutt in Mysuru, Siddaramaiah, who filed a complaint in the case, said the matter had come to his notice in September this year. A journalist and Krupa Alva of Mangaluru have joined hands to carry out this operation. I voluntarily lodged a complaint with the police so that the truth would come out before the public. There is no substance in the allegations, and they are completely far from the truth, he said. He said he had approached the court to prevent the spread of false allegations and a smear campaign against him. Siddaramaiah said no such incidents had occurred during his eight-year tenure as Chief Minister and that he had never faced such baseless allegations during his long political career. Such blackmail tactics are being employed in the present political system. I have committed no wrongdoing. Since I have done nothing wrong, I do not need anyones moral support, nor is there any need for anyone to stand by me, he said. Taking a swipe at those allegedly seeking political mileage from the controversy, he said some people were making statements for political gains and were free to continue doing so. However, he maintained that the investigation should establish who was behind the alleged conspiracy. Only after the investigation will it be known whether people from within our own party or those from the Opposition were involved. I have complete faith in the governments investigation. There is no need for an SIT or any other high-level probe, he said. Siddaramaiah asserted that the alleged conspiracy would not succeed in achieving its intended objective. The case, which appeared to have lost momentum over the past two or three days, has taken a fresh turn following the allegations by Siddaramaiahs son, Yathindra Siddaramaiah, that leaders from within the Congress were behind the sting operation. Karnataka Minister for Urban Development Yathindra Siddaramaiah on Friday morning alleged that insiders had carried out the sting operation involving his father, former Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee member Siddaramaiah, to tarnish his image, destroy his 40-year political legacy and blackmail him. He said the investigation would establish whether the people seen in the video had acted on their own or at someone else's behest. Speaking to the media, Yathindra said the video purportedly showed the involvement of some Congress leaders and a senior media person, making it necessary to investigate the circumstances under which the sting operation was carried out. This sting operation has been carried out to tarnish his image, destroy his legacy and blackmail him. Of course, the video indicates the involvement of our own party leaders and a media head. The investigation should establish whether they did it themselves or whether someone else asked them to do it, he said. However, Yathindra said he did not suspect anyone in particular and maintained that the investigation should establish the facts. Asked about the alleged involvement of Congress leaders, he said the reference was to a woman leader whose involvement was purportedly indicated in the video. According to him, she had reportedly spoken about seeking a Congress ticket to contest from the Puttur Assembly constituency. Prima facie, it appears that the sting operation may have been carried out for that reason. But we cannot say that the entire party conspired against us just because one party worker was involved, he said.

Heavy rain alert in Kerala; services restored after landslide derails train near Parassala
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 22 (IANS) Kerala faces another spell of heavy rain, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing orange alerts for seven districts until Sunday and warning of isolated very heavy rainfall over the coming days. The latest weather warning comes against the backdrop of a landslide near Parassala that disrupted train services in the early hours of Thursday. Orange alerts have been issued for Kozhikode, Kannur, and Kasaragod on Saturday, and Idukki, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode and Wayanad on Sunday. The IMD has forecast isolated very heavy rainfall, ranging from 115.6 mm to 204.4 mm in 24 hours, in the districts under orange alert. The IMD has also issued yellow alerts for several other districts on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, warning of isolated heavy rainfall. Thunderstorms are likely to accompany the rain. The State Disaster Management Authority has advised people in hilly and coastal areas to remain vigilant as the wet spell is expected to continue through Sunday. The impact of the rain was evident near Parassala in Thiruvananthapuram district, where a landslide affected railway operations in the early hours of Thursday. Train No. 22619 Bilaspur-Tirunelveli Express was stopped at around 2.19 a.m. in the Neyyattinkara-Parassala section, near Parassala railway station, after a landslide occurred around kilometre 249. The locomotive was subsequently found to have derailed. All passengers and railway personnel were reported safe. Railway authorities immediately arranged a relief locomotive and dispatched an Accident Relief Train, along with personnel and equipment, to carry out restoration work. The Railways later confirmed that the derailed locomotive had been removed and track restoration completed. Train services resumed after the necessary safety inspections. The Mangaluru-bound Parasuram Express departed Parassala and safely passed through the affected section. The IMD defines heavy rainfall as 64.5 mm to 115.5 mm in 24 hours. Authorities have urged residents in vulnerable areas to exercise caution and follow official advisories as Kerala braces for more rain over the next few days.
