Konkan Railway Corporation provided ample proof of its sincerity and honesty, when a passenger who had forgotten his gold ornaments and cash inside a train got them back. The bag in which these items were kept also contained some important documents belonging to the passenger.

Venkatesh Shetty, a resident of Mulki, had arrived at the Mulki railway station from Mumbai by the Matsyagandha express train on Monday. While alighting from the train at Mulki station, he forgot to pick up his bag containing a 12-gram gold bangle, ₹25,300 in cash and some important documents. After some time, he realized his mistake and contacted the station master, who conveyed this information to the ticket examiner, Babu, who was in the train. Babu conducted a search and soon found the bag, which he then promptly handed over to the office of the regional traffic manager. After verification, the officials then handed over the bag to Venkatesh Shetty, who was greatly relieved and lauded the Konkan Railway employees for their honesty help and service to the public.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced that their Chief Ministerial candidate, if the party gets voted to power in Kerala, will be the ‘Metro Man’, E Sreedharan. The announcement was made by BJP’s Kerala chief K Surendran.

Sreedharan is expected to resign from his post of Principal Adviser DMRC today (4 March) before filing his nomination papers for the polls. Sreedharan has expressed his desire to contest from a seat in Kochi, which is not too far away from his residence in Ponnani.

Sreedharan, however, will still ensure that the final round of inspections at the reconstructed Palarivattom flyover are completed. He will also continue to remain available to oversee developmental projects.

Sreedharan came into the public limelight after he successfully executed the Delhi Metro project. Considered one of India’s greatest engineers who took on challenging mega projects like the Konkan Railway, he has also been credited with planning and implementing the Kolkata Metro and turning around the Cochin Shipyard. Delhi Metro is only one of the handful of Metro projects in the world that is profitable and has changed the way people in Delhi and the National Capital Region commute.

Sreedharan has also been on advisory roles in Kochi Metro, Jaipur Metro, Lucknow Metro, Coimbatore Metro and proposed projects in Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada.

Sreedharan said that he joined the BJP after a lot of contemplation and has been very vocal about the social issue of love jihad, as, in his own words, he has seen Hindu girls being tricked into marriages in Kerala.
