CHILDREN RAIL WAS  STARTED AT KADRI PARK- By Raymond Dcunha 

Mangalore:It was started but not operated from long days. Children and their parents used to grin  seeing the rails. The old joke of local language used to remind us in TULU language “ Rail Budini”.




Yesterday when I visited Kadri  park I was surprised to hear ‘Chuku ,Puku Chuku Puku “ sound   with peoples sound of joy with children on board of rail.

That was a beautiful scene with shini   ng lights flashing on top of the train and moving on approximately 1.25 kmts round the Kadri Park one round with a charge of 10 Rupees for children and 20 rupees for adult .

The train for a model of reality to children crosses on Tunnel,one bridge,

most of the place forest like environment  with plain place , little slope and a climb  up road where it is felt the acceleration ,brakes .

Around 7minutes will be the ride and   presently run by “Mahila mathu Makkala Abhivridhi Illake” Bhasker  who is the driver of this train presently  jolly  man and from  2months operating the train with caution. The train passes the main gate and as we know our people  where children are careful but not the elders . Elders cross recklessly and that I saw in my eyes as driver blown horn ,still they were crossing .
