Need To Expedite Gauge Conversion Work Between Karaikudi And Thiruvarur. on 13 March, 2015
Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Need to expedite gauge conversion work between Karaikudi and Thiruvarur.
SHRI P.R. SENTHILNATHAN (SIVAGANGA): Sir, earlier, Karaikudi in my Sivaganga Constituency had direct rail link to Mayiladuthurai. The train service is not in operation now because of the much delayed gauge conversion work between Karaikudi and Thiruvarur. Adequate funds may be allocated to complete this project. Thirumayam is an important historical place. All the Rameswaram-Chennai trains must have a stoppage at Thirumayam. Manamadurai-Chennai Silambu Express, Varanasi-Rameswaram Express, Bhubaneswar-Rameswaram Express, which are operated now twice a week, may be converted to daily trains. Similarly, Puducherry-Kanyakumari Express train which is operated once in a week may be converted to daily train. Thank you, Sir.
