How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Vande Bharat Express trains are self-propelled electric multiple unit (EMU) sets with no separate locomotive, built by the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai.
- The Konkan Railway, opened in 1998, connects Roha in Maharashtra to Thokur near Mangaluru and passes through Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka.
- Mangaluru is a major west-coast port city of Karnataka, and the Bengaluru-Mangaluru rail route crosses the Western Ghats.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 3 (infrastructure) and GS Paper 2 (Centre-state development). Issue: Bengaluru has weak rapid rail links to the Karnataka coast and Goa. Policy: modern semi-high-speed services such as Vande Bharat improve connectivity, tourism and trade. Implication and way forward: faster coastal-hinterland links can boost port-linked economies, but they need safe Western Ghats track, capacity upgrades and affordable fares.
