#WORD-TO_WORD/#SENTENCE_TO_SENTENCE/#QUESTION_TO-QUESTION REBUTTAL TO
SOUTHERN RAILWAYS
Question Number 1 ReRouting of Train No 16731/16132,
Rebuttal 1 : Originally 16731/16132, Train ran between Madurai & Thiruchendur, Later Palani & Thiruchendur, Later
56769 Pollachi TIRUCHENDUR Passenger 56770 - TIRUCHENDUR Pollachi Passenger.
The Train has significant both Religion Pilgrimage, Cultural & Business connectivity Between WESTERN &
Southern Tamil Nadu but unwantedly extended to Palakkad (Which is not Religion Pilgrimage, Cultural & Business
connected to South Tamil Nā du ).
There are Proofs from multiple RTI that Train No 16731/16132 is not financially doing well between Palakkad &
Pollachi Segment with average 26Passenger in minimum 1200 Passenger Capacity train. Which has caused “HUGE
FINANCIAL LOSS” to Indian Railway due to “POOR PATRONAGE FROM KERALA SEGMENT ALONE”. #REROUTING
the train to #METTUPALAYAM/#COIMBATORE Should the Natural & Wise choice of Southern Railway. (District
Population COIMBATORE 4358045+ NEELAGIRI 805392=5163437PEOPLE VS PALAKKAD 29.5 LAKHS Not even
10% of Malayalis will travel to Thiruchendur Temple
An Alternative Connecting Train with matching time Between #Palakkad Junction & #Pollachi will solve the problem
of so called ‘DEPRIVATION” by the General Manager, Southern Railway. HOME GM, Southern Railway will SO
COMEOUT OF STANDARD- RHETORIC & TEMPLATE REPLY of “NOT-FEASIBLE_IF_IT_IS_FOR_TAMILNADU.

QUESTION NUMBER 3 RESTORATION OF EXPRESS FROM RAMESHWARAM TO COIMBATORE VIA MADURAI &
PALANI AS OVERNIGHT TRAIN
REBUTTAL : What even the GM has claimed as “#TEMINAL CONTRAINTS” is artificially created RTI & other
source of information clearly show 4 out 6 platforms in the NIGHT & even in some parts of the day is used as
“MERE PARKING SPACES”
Instead of “USING COIMBATORE PLATFORMS Efficiently means TRAIN TRANSPORT INTERFACES’ When
Thiruppur with 2 Platforms Handle 148 Passenger Trains (Excluding GOODS_TRAINS)
COIMBATORE(CBE) with 6 Platforms, 2PITLINE PODANUR(PTJ) with 5 Platforms, COIMBATORE(CBF) with 2
Platforms, METTUPALAYAM (CBF) with 2 Platforms & 1 PITLINE, PEELAMEDU(PLMD) with 2 Platforms, IRUGUR
(IGU) with 2 Platforms Can Handle More Trains & Daily RAMESHWAR IF NOT NIGHT DAY TRAIN SHOULD BE
FEASIBLE LIKE JAN SHADHABHI. COMPLETE DENIAL OF TRAINS TO SOUTH DISTRICTS INDICATE SOME CORRUPT
PRACTICES TO FAVOUR #BUS_LOBBY AS WELL BIASED APPROACH OF GIVING FACILITY TO ONLY ONE STATE.
WEEKLY TRAINS ARE NOT SOLUTION FOR A DENSLY POPULATED ZONE LIKE KONGU NADU & COIMBATORE IN
PARTICULAR WITH #5163437(50Lakh+) PEOPLE’S ASPIRATION & TRAVELLING NEEDS.
“KINDLY NOTE CURRENTLY SOUTHERN RAILWAY SERVES #TAMILNADU #KARNATAKA #KERALA #PONDICHERRY
#ANDHRAPRADESH it is "#NOT_FOR_ONLY_KERALA_RAILWAYS”

QUESTION NUMBER 4 THE EARLY MORNING PASSENGER TRAIN SERVICE DEPARTING DINDGUL TO COIMBATORE VIA
PALANI SHOULD BE RESTORED.
MLA Shree Damodaran ji has asked for Restoration the GM has wrongly state as “INTRODUCTION OF NEW TRAINS

REMARKS “THE POWERS FOR INTRODUCTION OF NEW TRAINS ARE VESTED WITH RAILWAY BOARD”
YES BUT “THE POWERS OF PROPOSING NEW TRAINS, REINTRODUCTION OF OLD TRAINS, EXTENSION, RE-ROUTING IS
VESTED WITH SOUTHERN RAILWAY ZONE WHICH HAS BEEN DONE IN BIASED IN FAVOUR OF ONE STATE, WITH
DISPARITY AGAINST WESTERN TAMILNADU”
REBUTTAL 4 : VARIOUS SOURCE INFORMATION & RTI INFORMATION CLEARLY SHOWS THAT SOUTHERN RAILWAY
HEADQUARTERS in recommendations by Southern Railway Proposals Indian Railways TIMETABLE Committee (IRTTC) 2022
“CLEAR NEGLECT, NOT FORWARDING (THE PROPOSAL FOR WESTERN TAMIL NADU (KONGU)) OR SHOW DISPARITY ONLY
FAVOURING KERALA STATE
