Southern Railway’s decision to cancel Chennai-Madurai Tejas Express from January 4 has drawn flak from residents of the city. The express train passes through Tiruchi.
Citing poor patronage, Southern Railway recently announced the cancellation of Tejas Express (six days a week) with effect from January 4.
Describing the action as “wrong”, Tiruchi Lok Sabha MP Su. Thirunavukkarasar contended that rail services could not be operated with the intention of earning profit.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, he said rail services were being operated for the welfare of the public. Although the number of rail travellers could have reduced in view of COVID-19, it was only a temporary phenomenon and not a permanent one.
