The long-standing demand of the public and public representatives from Haveri District to name the Haveri station after Shri Mahadevappa Mailara has been fulfilled now. The Karnataka Government has issued Gazette notification for the spellings for renaming Haveri Railways station as ‘Mahadevappa Mailara Railway Station’ in Devanagari Script (Hindi), Roman Script (English) and Kannada script.    Earlier, Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs had given no objection for changing the name of Haveri railway station as ‘Mahadevappa Mailara Railway Station’ vide it’s letter dated 02.07.2019.

Shri Mailara Mahadevappa, an Indian Freedom Fighter and revolutionary was from Haveri district.  At the age of 18, he accompanied Mahatma Gandhi o­n the Dandi March.

It's a tribute to the young revolutionary Mailara Mahadevappa who in his short but eventful life contributed significantly to freedom struggle. He organised as many as 74 different movements to protest against and topple colonial rule
