RailEnquiry

Makkal Sakthi Iyakkam, Tiruchi district, has demanded that the railway reservation counter functioning at Golden Rock, entertaining only railway duty passes and privilege passes at present, be converted into a full-fledged reservation centre for the benefit of commuters.

Such a move would benefit people residing at Golden Rock, Ponmalaipatti, Melakalkandarkottai, Thirunagar, Ambikapuram, and Ex-servicemen Colony, the organisation said in a release.

It has also requested for stoppage of the Mysore-Mayiladuthurai-Mysore Express trains and the Cholan Express at Ponmalai and Tiruverumbur railway stations besides seeking halt of the Mannargudi-Manamadurai passenger train at Manjathidal station.

Restoration of the Rockfort Express to Tiruchi and operation of a new express train via mainline to Thanjavur; creation of an underpass at G-Corner and opening of a medical shop at Tiruchi Junction are its other demands.

A memorandum containing these demands was submitted to Tiruchi MP P.Kumar here recently by the Iyakkam members led by its State advisor K.C.Neelamegam, a press release said.
