Why it matters
Infrastructure development in regional railway hubs is essential for improving connectivity and supporting economic growth in Tamil Nadu.
Tiruchi MP Durai Vaiko has reiterated his request to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to include Tiruchi in the Vision 2030 Plan for doubling the train-originating capacity in major cities across the country.
“Tiruchi deserves to be included in this ambitious programme as it is one of the important railway hubs in Southern Railway connecting the central districts, western, and southern region of Tamil Nadu,” Mr. Durai Vaiko said.
In a representation to the Railway Minister, Mr. Durai Vaiko pointed out that Tiruchi handled substantial passenger and operational traffic every day besides serving as an important originating and terminating point for several long-distance and intercity trains.
