Why it matters
Serves as a platform for civic engagement and highlights local infrastructure and public safety issues that affect daily life.
Stray dogs have been found roaming on Platform no. 1 at Tirunelveli junction railway station when Tirunelveli superfast express was scheduled to depart. Passengers having dinner seated on the platform floor find dogs waiting nearby for leftover food. The presence of stray dogs poses a serious threat to passengers. Vendors at the railway station say the nuisance is not confined to nights, but it is also present during daytime. The dogs have made the platform their regular shelter as they get food from commuters. Unfortunately, there is no check to the menace. While the railway administration and the station manager take measures to make the rail journey comfortable for passengers, there is no one responsible at the station to free the passengers from the fear of stray dogs at the railway station.
