For South India, following realignment are required:
1. Limit SR PGT division boundary to Manjeshwar. Attach MAQ, MAJN to SWR. Extend Karwar division boundary from Thokur to MAJN.
2. Add Pollachi Kinathukadavu section from PGT to MDU, along with Kinathukadavu to Podanur from SA to MDU. Will help in running trains seamlessly between MDU CBE.
3. Transfer SCT to QLN from MDU to...
more... TVC.
4. Limit TVC boundary to Nagercoil outer. Transfer NCJ NCT CAPE upto TEN to MDU.
5. Transfer HSRA Omalur from SWR to SR.
6. Transfer Wadi to Hotgi outer to SCR. Will help seamless trains from Kalyana Karnataka area to north, and coastal Karnataka.
7. Transfer MAO VSG to KR Karwar division.
8. GTL WADI to be retained in SCR irrespective of whether GTL division goes to SCoR or not.
There should be clear policy on number of zones for each state. I feel it should be max 2 or 3. If any zone has some area / big town in a state, the zone should have a division HQ in that state.
For example, if SR wants to retain MAQ or CR wants to retain Wadi Kalaburagi, those divisions should have their division HQ in MAQ and KLBG.
For Karnataka, SWR for south and north west parts, SCR for North east part and Konkan railway for coastal part. SR and CR areas should get realigned to SCR or SWR. 5 zones for Karnataka is toooooo much.
please wait...Translate to EnglishAlright, dudes from South India, check it out:
1. Shorten SR PGT division to Manjeshwar. Stick MAQ, MAJN with SWR. Make Karwar division stretch from Thokur to MAJN.
2. Move Pollachi Kinathukadavu section from PGT to MDU, include Kinathukadavu to Podanur from SA to MDU. Trains can slide between MDU CBE smoothly.
3. Shift SCT to QLN from MDU to TVC.
4. Shrink TVC to Nagercoil outer. Ship NCJ NCT CAPE up to TEN to MDU.
5. Slide HSRA Omalur from SWR to SR.
6. Toss Wadi to Hotgi outer to SCR. Will ease trains from Kalyana Karnataka region to the north, and coastal Karnataka.
7. Hand MAO VSG to KR Karwar division.
8. GTL WADI remains in SCR no matter if GTL division switches to SCoR or not.
We gotta set a cool rule on how many zones each state should have. I say max 2 or 3. If a zone covers some area/big city in a state, the zone must have a division HQ there. For instance, if SR wants to keep MAQ or CR wants to keep Wadi Kalaburagi, those divisions should plant their HQ in MAQ and KLBG. For Karnataka, SWR handles south and northwest zones, SCR handles northeast zone, and Konkan railway takes care of the coast. SR and CR regions should move to SCR or SWR. 5 zones for Karnataka is way too much, man.
