Railways clears four‑lane widening at Pandeshwara level crossing: MP Capt. Chowta

Captain Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Monday, said the Southern Railway has approved the development of a portion of the Pandeshwara railway level crossing stretch into a four-lane road. This level crossing has been a source of traffic issues and public frustration in the city for many years.

In a statement, Capt. Chowta stated that after realising the seriousness of the issue, he had given strict instructions to the railway officials to come up with solutions during a meeting held at the office of Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner H.V. Darshan. The Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) and railway officials were asked to submit a comprehensive report on possible solutions to the problem. MCC officials were also directed to upload this report on the official portal of the Railway Department.
