Plea for one more overnight train between Thoothukudi and Chennai
The Thoothukudi District Passengers' Welfare Association has appealed to the General Manager, Southern Railway, to introduce one more overnight train to connect this coastal town with Chennai. In a memorandum, president of Thoothukudi District Passengers' Welfare Association M. Brammanayagams said Thoothukudi, which got train connectivity with Chennai 145 years ago, still has only one train, 'Pearlcity Express Train'. Since patronage for this section is overwhelming, the Southern Railways should introduce one more overnight train between Thoothukudi and Chennai. Moreover, a daytime train should also be operated from Thoothukudi to Chennai via Madurai and Tiruchi instead of the link train to Chennai. An early morning intercity express train should be introduced between Thoothukudi and Kollam via Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, Shencottai and Punalur as it will be of great help to the people travelling to Kerala. Air-conditioned coaches should be added to the Thoothukudi – Palakkad Express Train on both directions and the Thoothukudi – Mettupalaayam Express Train should be operated thrice a day. The ongoing development works at Thoothukudi Keezhur railway station like extension of platform 1 and concreting of platforms 2 and 3 should be expedited, Mr. Brammanayagam said.

Thailand 'unexpectedly' shuts border to tourists, leaves thousands stranded
Thailand has shut two of its border crossings to tourists as a "safety measure" amid ongoing tensions with its neighbour, Cambodia. The 'unexpected' move left thousands of people stranded, as per a report by the Bangkok Post. The decision comes after a Cambodian soldier was killed in a short military skirmish on May 28 in the Emerald Triangle, the region where the borders of the two neighbouring countries and Laos converge. Both countries on Sunday reached an agreement to reposition their troops in the disputed border area. There has been sporadic violence on the Thai-Cambodian frontier since 2008, resulting in at least 28 deaths.

Thailand and Cambodia have long been at odds over their more than 800-kilometre-long (500-mile) border, which was largely drawn during the French occupation of Indochina. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said Monday the kingdom would file a complaint with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the border dispute.

Passengers miss connection train; Southern Railway to pay Rs 10k compensation
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Southern Railway has been directed to pay Rs 10,000 compensation each to five Mookambika-bound travellers who missed the connection train from Mangalore due to the delayed arrival of the first train. The Thiruvananthapuram District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission also asked the railways to pay Rs 2,500 as costs. The complainants had booked tickets in the Maveli Express from Trivandrum Central Railway Station to Mangalore Central Railway Station to visit the Kollur Mookambika Temple. The scheduled boarding date was 10.08.2017 and arrival time at 8.05 hours next day. They also booked tickets on the Mangalore-Karwar Express to travel to Byndoor Station (Mookambika Road). The second train was scheduled to depart from Mangalore station on 11.08.2017 at 9 hours. According to the complainants, the Maveli Express reached the Mangalore Central Railway Station's outer at 8.20 hrs but was stopped there till the connection train in which they had to travel to Byndoor railway station left the central station. The complainants alleged that the train was halted in the outer though the central station had vacant platforms. Due to deficiency in service by the railways, the complainants said, they had to catch a bus for further journey resulting in monetary loss and mental agony. The railways submitted that the Maveli Express reached Mangalore station at 9.08 hrs. The allegation that Mangalore- Karwar Express is a connection train for Maveli Express is factually incorrect. Hence, the latter cannot be detained at the station until the arrival of Maveli Express. The Mangalore- Karwar Express left station at scheduled time of 9 hrs.
