Send contact numbers through SMS
Round-the-clock toll-free numbers and contact numbers of District Election Officer, Returning Officers have been announced to receive election-related complaints from the public. A majority of people find it difficult to get quick access to these numbers. So boards displaying these numbers should be put up at railway stations, bus stands and offices of urban and rural civic bodies. It will be of utmost help if these numbers, along with those of Election Observers, flying squads and static surveillance teams are sent as SMS to mobile phones of every voters that they can send their election-related complaints such as cash for votes and gift distribution.

One-day bus pass
At the time of bus fare hike in January 2018, the one-day bus pass (₹50 pass) issued by the TNSTC to travel anywhere in Madurai for a whole day, was withdrawn. I request the TNSTC to issue the daily bus pass again.

Under-utilised railway stretch
Nagercoil and Coimbatore are connected through two express trains running via Karur, Erode and Tirupur. The newly-laid broad gauge line between Dindigul and Palghat/Coimbatore is under-utilised but for Amirtha Express running between Madurai and Thiruvananthapuram via Pollachi and Palghat. In spite of several representations, no trains have been introduced on the Dindigul-Pollachi- Coimbatore/Palghat section. The crores of money spent on this project is not serving the common man and it is a loss to the railways. I request the railway authorities to operate more trains and make the best use of this stretch.
