Durai Vaiko, MP, has placed a few demands to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw pertaining to Tiruchi Lok Sabha constituency.
MDMK leader Vaiko accompanied the MP when called on the Railway Minister in New Delhi recently and submitted memorandums.
One of the demands was to provide a stop at Tiruverumbur railway station for the Cholan Superfast Express, Rameswaram Express, Tiruchendur Superfast Express and Ernakulam-Karaikal Express.
Several important organisations such as the BHEL, OFT, and HAPP as well as educational institutions, including the National Institute of Technology - Tiruchi, Government ITI and Government Polytechnic, are located in and around Tiruverumbur. People residing in the area had to travel 20 km to Budalur or Tiruchi Junction to board an express train, Mr. Durai Vaiko said in the memorandum.
Another memorandum sought a stop for the Mayiladuthurai-Sengottai Express and Dindigul-Villupuram Intercity Express at Samuthiram railway station. This would benefit farmers in 40 villages in and around the station.
He urged the Railway Minister to take steps to build an overbridge at the level crossing 265 at Inamkulathur area in Manikandam panchayat union in Tiruchi district. Several trains pass through this level crossing every day causing inconvenience to people since the gate is closed frequently.
In one of the memorandums, the MP said traffic congestion had become acute at level crossing 317/E near Tiruverumbur. Railway officials had visited the spot to examine the feasibility of construction of an overbridge. He requested the Railway Minister to look into the matter and take action as early as possible.
The riverbank, that was once abuzz with unloading of sand from boats and loading it to trucks, has become busy again, but for a different reason this time. For the first time in the Netravathi river area near Mangaluru, a water sports activity has come up beckoning Mangalureans as well as tourists.
