The Virudhachalam - Salem BG section is being commissioned on 18th Nov.
A Grand function for this is being held at Virudhachalam Junction on 18th Nov. Morning around 10:00 AM.
Minister of State for Railways Mr. R. Velu flags off the first passenger service in this section from Virudhachalam Junction. The first service to be introduced in this section would be a Virudhachalam - Salem Passenger service. MLAs, MPs, State and Central Ministers participate.
The Virudhachalam - Salem Gauge conversion is part of the Cuddalore-Salem Gauge Conversion Project.
For now, it is not known how many train services would be operated in this new Virudhachalam - Salem BG section.
If SR intends to operate only one Virudhachalam - Salem passenger in this section, then it is really a bad decision by SR. In that case, atleast, this Virudhachalam - Salem passenger should be extended to Cuddalore immediately.
Irrespective of the number of services proposed in this new section, SR should run minimum one Cuddalore-Salem passenger.
In fact, if SR can introduce a Cuddalore - Bangalore Fast Passenger or Express, it would be highly useful to people in Cuddalore, Vadalur, Neyveli and Virudhachalam.
Hope SR will do something to Cuddalore atleast this time.
