For 25 years, octogenarian donates study materials for school students in Ranipet

As part of celebrating the silver jubilee year of service, octogenarian N. Subramanian and his wife donated a set of supporting study materials, including the Thirukkural, a dictionary, an atlas and a moral poem book to freshers who joined government panchayat union schools in Vannakkambadi and Ramapalayam villages in Ranipet. According to a press release, despite their fragile age, the couple took time to visit two government schools in these villages to donate study materials for students. Being a native of Vannakkambadi village, Mr. Subramanian used to donate 20 books to the government school for years before he extended his service to the school in a neighbouring village. During the visit, the couple also learnt from the headmistress of the school that 20 books donated by them for pre-school were instrumental in upskilling the students and helped them bring the award and special honour to her and the school.

Train users' assn. seeks revival of Tambaram service favoured by pilgrims to Kumbakonam, Mayiladuthurai

The Podanur Train Users' Association has urged the Southern Railway to revive Podanur/Tambaram/Podanur Express (No. 06185/ 06186) special service and to operate it on a daily basis. In a representation to the Divisional Railway Manager, Salem Railway Division, N. Subramanian, General Secretary of the association, said the special train operated as a weekly service was most comfortable for passengers bound for Chennai as well as pilgrim centres including Kumbakonam, Mayiladuthurai and Chidambaram, in particular, for senior citizens since they could travel in night hours in sleeper class. The same demand was highlighted in a separate representation by K. Eswarasamy, Member of Parliament, Pollachi Constituency. Stoppage of the service was regrettable, since it had high level of occupancy all along the intermediate stations. The services may be restored with bi-weekly operation in the interests of travelling public, the MP emphasised. The association also demanded the extension of Janshatabdi Express (12083/ 12084) till Chidambaram. The association has been highlighting this demand for long and the Southern Railway has been citing non-availability of platform for not being able to start the journey at earlier timings to make this happen. The association suggests that the train can, instead, start from Podanur Junction, which has five platforms that are not fully utilised. Like several other train rakes stabling at Podanur Junction during the night hours, the Jan Shatabdi express rakes were also stabling at Podanur Junction on most days. The Salem Railway Division could as well plan the start of the train from Podanur Junction, which will also serve the purpose of decongesting Coimbatore Junction, Mr. Subramanian said. The train could start from the Podanur Junction at 6 a.m., depart from Coimbatore Junction after a 20-minute stoppage, and reach Mayiladuthurai and Chidambaram at 1.05 p.m. and 1.35 p.m. respectively. In the return direction, the train could depart at 2.30 p.m., Mr. Subramanian said.
