Seventeenth Loksabha > Title: Regarding rail facilities in Attingal Parliamentary Constituency, Kerala - Laid ADV. ADOOR PRAKASH (ATTINGAL): There are 10 level crossings in my parliament constituency which require Rail Over Bridge. Passengers are facing acute difficulties at level crossing at Chrirayinkil. Land acquisilion has been completed but the works have not started. Construction of a Railway Overbridge at Edava in Varkala is a long pending demand. The alignment for the same is yet to be finalized, ROBs at Punnamood, Kaniyapuram should also be considered. The demand for construction of a foot over bridge at Varkala Maithanam Level Cross is a genuine demand from the local residents. Thousands of people including children are facing difficulties at this level cross every day. A lot of representations have been submitted for allowing stoppage for Maveli Express (16603/16604) and Parasuram Express (16649/16650) at Chirayinkil and Kadakkavoor stations. Considering the difficulties faced by thousands of passengers, Railway authorities should take a favourable decision in this matter.
