Importance of coastal line linking religious centers, nuclear plant, and rocket launching site, serving as a strategic railway line.
Importance of coastal line
While there is no sign of the proposed railway line between Thoothukudi and Madurai being taken up now, the east coast link between Ramanathapuram and Thoothukudi, and between Thoothukudi and Kanniyakumari via Tiruchendur have also been put in the back burner. The coastal line will link religious centres such as Thirupullani, Valinokkam, Ervadi, Tiruchendur, besides Koodankulam (nuclear plant) and Kulasekarapattinam (ISRO’s rocket launching site). This line will also serve as a strategically important railway line, in view of Chinese interests in Sri Lanka.

Noise pollution
Though efforts are made by the authorities to reduce noise pollution, mini bus crew in Kanniyakumari district are very adamant in playing loud and unpleasant songs, making passengers uncomfortable. As civilisation advances, correspondingly the noise pollution also increases in our society. I implore the authorities concerned to see that the minibuses do not add to the noise pollution.
