CANACONA. Six trains on the Konkan Railway route will make a temporary one-minute halt at Canacona Railway Station to facilitate devotees travelling for the Sardha Panchashatamanostsava celebrations at Shree Samsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevottam Math in Partagali.
The trains granted additional halts are 12619 LTT to Mangaluru, 12620 Mangaluru to LTT, 16337 Okha to Ernakulam, 16338 Ernakulam to Okha, 16333 Veraval to Thiruvananthapuram and 16334 Thiruvananthapuram to Veraval. The temporary stoppage will be effective from 27 November to 6 December 2025.
Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd issued a notification on Saturday following a request from the Math. The notification states that the temporary halts have been approved in view of the 550th year celebrations of the revered institution, which is hosting an eleven-day programme from 27 November to 6 December.
The approval follows a letter from the Math dated 11 November, informing the railway that a large number of devotees and followers from Mangaluru, Udupi, Karwar, Gokarna and regions along the Konkan belt are expected to travel for the event.
The Math has also requested permission to install a four-foot-by-four-foot information kiosk at Canacona Station to guide arriving devotees. The Konkan Railway notification does not mention the kiosk request. According to sources in the organising committee, the Math is awaiting a separate communication from the railway on this matter to support visitors arriving by train.
