Respected Sir,
Sub: Request for running Long Distance Trains and EMU services
to nearby district and town.
Thanks for introducing a weekly train to New Delhi. Very soon, we hope you will introduce daily trains to Coimbatore, Mumbai, Ahmedabad Bangalore and Jaipur. The above places are commercial and financial centres. All long distance train should terminate and begin from Velankkani –Karaikal .
The omnibuses now catering to places like Benguluru, Coimbatore, Madurai etc are unsafe. They are virtually vehicles of death as it normally plies at night competing with heavy goods vehicle. During journey, many passengers sleeping on the berth have fallen down and sustained injuries. The passengers travelling by these omnibuses hold their breath till they reach their destination safely. Cases of molestation of single women in these buses also occur. They go unreported. As per the newspaper report, a leading advocate has filed a case against pvt. omnibus which was involved in accident at Vellore. The omnibus was registered in Puducherry flouting all norms of safety.
The members of our Association feel the pvt. Omnibus should be stopped immediately and instead train services should be given prominence for safety and comfort.
Regular EMU trains to:
1)Puducherry – Tambram -- Puducherry,
2)Puducherry -- Tiruvanamalai --- Katpadi. --Puducherry .

3)Puducherry -- Villupuram ---Cuddalore --- Virdachallam --Villupuram ---Puducherry Clockwise Direction,

4)Puducherry -- Villupuram - Virdachallam -- Cuddalore --- Villupuram – Puducherry
Anticlockwise. Direction.

These services will immensely benefit and help P/H persons, labourers and small time trader to expand their business.
Non framing of rules and regulation under ‘The Disability Act1995’ has made P/H persons to seek alternate mode of employment. Further, increase in bus fare following diesel hike will render road travel a costly affair for marginalized section of society.
We are confident that you will consider our request favourably and oblige.
Thanking you,
