Fair Deal to Kanniyakumari Districts

Picture

With due respect, I would like to put forward the following for your kind attention and consideration for the benefit of my constituency passengers.

 

              The Kanyakumari District of Tamilnadu was once the part of South Travancore - Cochin State (now Kerala) and for several centauries the Tamils of this region were exploited and ill-treated by the Malayala people and their administrators.  However, after a long struggle under the leadership of late Father of Kanyakumari district  Marshal A. Nesamony, the southern Tamils area was carved out from the Kerala state in 1956   and named Kanyakumari District, integrating it with mother state of Tamilnadu.   Politically we are constituted as the state of Tamilnadu, but in Railway administration our district governed by the southern Railways Trivandrum division. As you are aware our state capital is not Trivandrum (which is 70 KM) but Chennai (which is 700 KM).  Kanyakumari District politically belongs to Tamil Nadu and we need more trains for our district, operating via Madurai and other Tamil Nadu cities/towns.

 

                 Kanyakumari district is under the control of Trivandrum division of Southern Railway. Time and again, we have seen that trains are introduced for Kanyakumari district by Railway officers as per their wish, rather than for fulfilling the needs of the passengers of Kanyakumari district.

 

            We have been demanding the following trains for a long time. But none of our requests have borne fruit.

 

1. Extension of Mangalore-Trivandrum Maveli express to Kanyakumari [Instead, the Railways extended Mangalore-Kochuveli Ernad day express for operational reasons].

2.   New daily train between Nagercoil and Chennai via. Madurai

3.   Extension of Trichy-Tirunelveli Intercity to Trivandrum.

4.   New daily train between Kochuveli and Velankanni via Nagercoil.

5.  Hyderabad- Kanyakumari  new daily super fast train service via. Madurai, Tiruvannamalai and Tirupati

6.   Extending Madurai - Dehradun/ Chandigarh train to Kanyakumari

7.   Chennai - Nagercoil daily new AC Superfast Train Via. Madurai

8.   Increase the service of 16862/16861 Kanyakumari – Puducherry Express weekly to daily

9.   Nagercoil – Chennai Egmore week-end superfast train service (weekly service)

    10. Increase the service of 12641/12642 Kanyakumari – Nizamuddin Express bi weekly to Daily

 

                There have been some unwanted trains like Dibrugarh-Trivandrum-Kanyakumari weekly and Shalimar-Trivandrum-Nagercoil weekly. These are trains that no one from Kanyakumari district wanted, but pushed by Railway officers for operational reasons.

 

                Every year we wait for our requests to be fulfilled, but in vain. We have the feeling that since we are part of Trivandrum division, the requests are not been heard, and that trains are introduced from Kanyakumari district to benefit Trivandrum division. We, as part of TamilNadu would want more trains via Madurai than Trivandrum.

 

Hence, I request you to consider our demands and fulfill them, or transfer us to Madurai division if these demands are not fulfilled. 

 

Thanking you,

 

Adv. J.G.Prince M.L.A

Colachel Constituency
