News Reg. Guwahati/Howrah/Dibrugarh Town to Kaniyakumari Train service
(Railway route the longest in India)
Kanyakumari, the southern-most point in India, is a world–renowned tourist center and pilgrims from all over India and foreign
countries visit this tourist place regularly throughout the year. North Eastern States are again another place of interest to those people visiting Kanyakumari. There is no Railway direct connectivity between North Eastern States cities, although many pilgrims and tourist travel between and many intermediate stations.
The train no. 2666/2665 Howrah -Kaniyakumari- Howrah is of great help to travelers to central and northeastern states of India from the south Tamilnadu. But this train service is now available only once in a week.
Train No. 2663/2664 Howrah -Tiruchchirappalli Bi-weekly and 5030/5029 Chennai Egmore- Dibrugarh Town weekly express trains. If these two trains can be extended up to Kaniyakumari for the benefit of pilgrims and tourist passengers.
o Howrah –Kaniyakumari weekly (2666/2665) Extended Up to Guwahati
o Howrah- Tiruchchirappalli Bi-weekly (2663/2664) Extended Up to Kaniyakumari
o Dibrugarh Town –Chennai Weekly (5930/5329) Extended Up to Kaniyakumari (Via. Madurai)
We request you to include this issue in the forthcoming budget and to extend this railway service so that it becomes very convenient for the pilgrims travelling in this route. Moreover this change will make this railway route the longest in India
Therefore, it is kindly requested that suitable arrangements can be made to extend the above mentioned train up to Kaniyakumari at the earliest to facilitate our people. Kindly have this implemented in the forthcoming budget. We request you to take relevant favorable action for the same by approaching the Railway Minister/Railway Board as soon as possible in the current year 2009.
Thanking You,
Yours Sincerely,
