For non-railway folks, both Miraj and Guntakal are no-name towns, but they are good sized railway junctions, and the railways get to name trains.
The parts of Karnataka that the route goes through are fertile crop bearing regions and not the water starved Gulbarga localities (although at the time we were passing through, Hubli and other areas were severely short of water and were considered for cloud seeding).
That route had a shorter metre gauge section, from Guntakal to Bangalore, and that was converted to broad gauge earlier, providing for a direct service from Mumbai to Bangalore, and that legacy continues.

The agitation is a sequel to the move on the part of the Railway Board in creating new divisions and new zones which will come into force from April next.
Under the new arrangement, Hubli and Guntakal divisions come under the new South Western Railway and the existing South Central Railway respectively, and the 115-km.

 My account of travel to Madras
Getting into Guntakal was one exciting thing being a junction with a lot of fanouts.
The unfortunate thing is that so many extras boarded at Adoni and the place was quite cramped for the few stations - the TC's always coming to the coach late, and thus I was not able to get such a good view of the place.
I guess Guntakal was the point where the locos dropped on or off from "home".

 The Hindu : Revenue-earning line goes to Guntakal
The Bangalore and Mysore divisions, which were with the Southern Railway, and the Hubli Division of the South-Central Railway, have been made part of the South-Western Railway Zone.
Prior to the uni-gauge project, the metre gauge portion between Hospet and Guntakal was under the control of the Hubli Division and the parallel broad gauge line between the two destinations was controlled by the Guntakal Division.
The existing Hospet-Bellary-Guntakal broad gauge line, which was under the Guntakal Division, has remained with the same division and ultimately the freight earnings between Guntakal and Hospet were credited to Guntakal Division and all coach earnings were credited to Hubli Division.

The South Central Railway appears to be in undue hurry to implement the scheme to redraw the jurisdiction of the new divisions and zones eight months ahead of the date set by the Railway Board for the new arrangement to take place.
Laying of a parallel broadgauge line years ago between Hospet and Guntakal to carry iron ore to Chennai for export, gave rise to the dual control of the line.
The interest on the part of the South Central Railway in keeping the Tornagallu- Guntakal line with itself is also manifest in the steps being taken to implement in advance the orders of the Railway Board.

This project was developed between the Rotary Club of Guntakal in India, D3160 and D6060 in Eastern Missouri.
In this region of India, among the poorest of residents, many children have untreated ear infections that cause nerve and bone destruction, leading to partial or profound deafness.
By administering some inexpensive antibiotics, or perhaps by placing "tubes" in their ears, these children's infections can be controlled and eliminated before deafness occurs.
