> Title: Need to extend Jan Shatabdi Express running between Coimbatore and Mayiladuthurai upto Cuddalore.
SHRI S. ALAGIRI (CUDDALORE): My parliamentary constituency Cuddalore do not have proper rail service in spite of repeated requests. The bias attitude towards my parliamentary constituency prevents further growth of operating companies such as Power generation, ship building, Oil Refineries and major chemicals factories. The spare parts and main machinery are being manufactured in the Cuddalore district and are being supplied to other parts of this city. The officers working in these companies are facing inconvenience in commuting to Cuddalore. The Cuddalore port is second largest port in Eastern Coast Area. The businessmen and other dealers engaged in export and import are facing the same problem. Extension of Jan Shatabadi Express running between Coimbatore and Mayiladuthurai up to Cuddalore is needed urgently. The railways can earn additional revenue if extension of the Jansatabadi up to Cuddalore is made.
In this regard, I hereby urge the Minister of Railways to instruct the extension of the Coimbatore-Mayiladuthurai Jan Sahtabadi Express upto Cuddalore junction.
