Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Need to introduce a new superfast express train from Tirunelveli to Chennai in Tamil Nadu.
SHRI K.R.P. PRABAKARAN (TIRUNELVELI): Vannakkm hon. Speaker, Madam, first of all, I would like to thank our hon. Leader, Dr. Puratchi Thalaivi Amma for giving me a chance to speak in this august House.
A new superfast train from Tirunelveli to Chennai via Tirunelveli Town, Pettai, Cheranmahadevi, Veeravanallur, Kallidaikurichi, Ambasamudram, Keezha Aambur, Alwarkurichi, Ravanasamudram, Keezha Kadayam, Mettur, Pavoorchatram, Keezha Puliyooor and Tenkasi Junction. According to the computers, a large number of traders and passengers from Cheranmadevi, Kallidaikurichi, Ambur and Kadayam are traveling to Tirunelveli or Tenkasi on their way to Chennai. If there is a new superfast train from Tirunelveli to Chennai Via Cheranmadevi, Kallidaikurichi, Ambur and Kadatanm - as there is already a railway line and functioning railway stations available - it would be easy for the passengers to catch train from their locality.
A new superfast train on this line will be a real boon for ordinary people as it would provide services to passengers residing in suburban and rural areas of my Tirunelveli constituency. Persons working in major cities will use this train. This new superfast service would be greatly beneficial to a large section of people of my parliamentary constituency.
Hence, I urge upon the union Railway Minister to consider and introduce a superfast express train from Tiruneveli to Chennai via Tirunelveli Town, Pettai, Cheranmahadevi, Veeravanallur, Kallidaikurichi, Ambasamudram, Keezha Aambur, Alwarkurichi, Ravanasamudram, Keezha Kadayam, Mettur, Pavoorchatram, Keezha Puliyooor and Tenkasi Junction.
