Pollachi MP seeks restoration of Coimbatore-Dindigul MEMU service utilising idle rake
Espousing the cause of the travelling public in Coimbatore, Podanur, Kinathukadavu, Pollachi, Udumalpet and Palani, Member of Parliament of Pollachi Constituency K. Eswarasamy has submitted a request to the Southern Railway seeking restoration of Coimbatore-Dindigul-Coimbatore MEMU Special (06106/ 06107). The special service that was operated during the Pongal festival season this year was helpful to farmers, pilgrims, students, business community and general public in about 100 towns and villages in the section. It was stopped citing crew shortage in Madurai Division. Restoration of the train will provide connectivity for passengers along the towns with stoppages in the section bound for Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi and other cities through utilisation of Coimbatore and Dindigul junctions. The MEMU rake that was used for the service was being kept idle at the Coimbatore Railway Junction from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It could be utilised to restart the special service in the interests of several lakhs of passengers utilising the 14 stations in the section. It would increase revenue and track utilisation, Mr. Eswarasamy said.
