Chennai, India – Tamil State Congress President, GK Vasan, has expressed his support for the newly launched ‘Vande Bharat’ train service that runs from Chennai to Tirunelveli. In a statement released yesterday, Vasan stated that this initiative is a welcome development for the people of Tamil Nadu.
Kovilpatti, the second-largest city in the Thoothukudi district, also plays a significant role in the transportation sector, particularly for the districts of Tenkasi, Sankarankovil, Thiruvenkadam, and Rajapalayam. Vasan emphasized the importance of including Kovilpatti railway station as a stop for the ‘Vande Bharat’ train.
Recognizing the potential benefits for the people and businessmen in these districts, Vasan called upon the Central government and the railway administration to take immediate action to include Kovilpatti as a designated stop for this high-speed train service.
The ‘Vande Bharat’ Express, also known as Train 18, is a semi-high-speed train introduced by the Indian government with the aim of providing faster and more luxurious travel options for passengers. The Chennai-Tirunelveli route has already received positive reviews from commuters for its efficient service and enhanced travel experience.
Adding Kovilpatti railway station as a stop would not only improve connectivity for the local population but also boost economic activities in the surrounding areas. Businessmen and traders in Tenkasi, Sankarankovil, Thiruvenkadam, and Rajapalayam would greatly benefit from the enhanced accessibility to Chennai and Tirunelveli.
The inclusion of Kovilpatti as a stop on the ‘Vande Bharat’ train route would be a significant step in catering to the needs of the people living in these districts. It would also provide an opportunity for the Central government to demonstrate its commitment to the development and progress of Tamil Nadu.
As the demand for efficient transportation continues to grow, it is essential for the authorities to consider expanding the reach and accessibility of the ‘Vande Bharat’ train service. The integration of Kovilpatti as a stop would not only serve the immediate needs of the people but also contribute to the overall development of the region.
With Tamil State Congress President GK Vasan championing the cause, it is hoped that the concerns and requests of the citizens will be heeded by the central government and the railway administration. The inclusion of Kovilpatti as a stop for the ‘Vande Bharat’ train service would undoubtedly elevate the convenience and connectivity for the people of Tamil Nadu.
