Its nice to see IRI also gives the local name for many stations to help the visitors.
So I am surprised to see that MAQ and MAJN have the name Mangalore in brackets instead of Kudla.
Kudla is what the local Tulu people call it.
.
Mangaluru...
more... is the official name from 2014.
Kudla is the commonly used name by locals.
Mangalore was the British usage.
.
So shouldn't Kudla be used here on IRI?
.
For MAJN - Kankanady is good enough as that is what locals call.
But for MAQ it can be Kudla in brackets?
Even for MAJN, it can be Kudla along with Kankanady.
.
The sole purpose is for the visitors to get that name when searching on IRI. So if Kudla is included, then the search will be easier for both MAQ and MAJN.
