Before the upcoming meeting of parliament members with the CEO of the South Railway in Tiruchi, the user association of the railway deposited a number of requirements and their expectations to representatives of people.
This will be the first meeting organized by South Railways with MPs elected within the limits of the Tiruchi railway division after the general elections held in 2024. Members of Rajya Sabha are also expected to attend a meeting attended by the highest railway officers of the division.
The requirements raised by various associations differ from the implementation of the project to double the track and the need to introduce new trains with regard to the growing demand and movements of passengers. Other best requirements are the rapid completion of ongoing projects and improving the equipment of passengers at railway stations.
One of the key requirements that the Association wants to take over the CEO of Southern Railway is a lot of pressure to double the track in the old main section between Thanjavur and Villupuram, undergoing Kumbakonam, Mayiladuthurai and Chidambarama.
The main section is the main section, which has witnessed a constant increase in passenger movements over the years. “The existing one -line section remains a handicap in the introduction of new train services. Although surveys for doubling the track have been carried out, there has not been any positive hint. Therefore, MEPs should increase demand in one vote for early approval and launch of the track doubling project. Secretary of “district rail” users.
Mr. Giri pointed out that when the new Karaikal-Poelalam section opens up for operation, the pressure on the main line would increase.
Early approval to double the Karaikal-Thanjavur Broge Line section was the demand of the Nagore Nagore Association Association. The survey for the doubling of the section was carried out on this section, but the consent came, said the President of the Association S. Mohan. Doubling the track will allow multiple trains to be introduced except for smooth movement of cargo from the Karaikal port.
MEPs should increase the proposal to extend Tiruchi-Palakkad-Tiruchi to Karaikal. The list of Railway Associations in Kbely includes daily overnight stay of the express train from Karaikan or Velankanni to Bengalur and extension of the Madurai-Punalur train to Karaikal to provide connections to Delta with the Southern districts.
The Pattukottai Rail Association demanded the stopping of the newly presented railway station Tambaram-HraMeswaram Pamban Express in Muthupeet, Adiramapattinam and Peravurani. The revival of the everyday passenger train from Karaiku to Mayiladuthurai via Pattukottai in the morning and in the evening is a request that is waiting for a long time, said the President of the Association V. Vivegantham. The train was controlled during the meter’s meter and stopped when the wide meter was transformed, he added.
The start of the daily intermediate expression between Tiruchi and Tambarama through Thanjavur and Kumbakonam should be preferred and MEPs should push the southern railways to obtain the required approval and continuously run, Giri said. The operation of express trains from Tiruchi to Kochi and Kozhikode was required because there is a huge potential for passenger movements on both sides, said Sa Mubashir, Vice President of Trichy Tourism Federation. In Tiruchi Junction, more kiosks could be set up so that travelers could buy unconditional tickets and platform tickets, he added.
