Bengaluru Cantonment

The train between Bengaluru and Coimbatore is likely to be flagged off on December 30 along with another Vande Bharat train from Mangaluru in coastal Karnataka to Madgaon in Goa.

Timely detection of a 'rail cut' near Cantonment Railway Station in Bengaluru averted a possible train accident, South Western Railways said on Wednesday.

That Bengaluru is in a state of flux is well known. Trees are being sacrificed and old familiar landmarks are slowly disappearing as the city tries to keep pace with the phenomenal speed of its growth. And now there is sadness over the imminent loss of another landmark - an old veterinary hospital - in the busy cantonment area of the city.

A 30-foot-tall Christmas tree stands outside the Mar Thoma Church in Bengaluru's Cantonment area. Nothing unusual about that, you might think, until you take a closer look. The tree has been made of scraps of cloth donated by tailors and garment manufacturers.
