Kankanadi or Kankanady is one of the major upscale commercial and residential localities of the city of Mangalore in Karnataka, India. It houses many highrise buildings and as of now, is transforming into a highrise hub of the Mangalore CBD region along with its major counterparts like Bejai, Kadri, Attavar & Falnir. It is one of the busiest localities of Mangalore.
The starting of Konkan Railway made Kankanadi railway station a busy junction. The Kankanadi station situated about 5 km from the city is the official railway station for trains, such as Rajdhani and Garib Raths, which does not go the Mangalore Central railway station as it is a terminating point. The station, which comes under the Palakkad division on the Southern Railway line, lacks proper maintenance. Recently, Kankanady railway station has been renamed as Mangalore Junction and the main station at the Mangalore city as Mangalore Central.
