Tambaram railway station
The Senkottai-Punalaur section will also offer a shorter route to those going to Thiruvananthapuram from Chennai. Currently, passengers from Chennai go to Thiruvananthapuram either via Coimbatore-Palakkad route or Madurai-Kanyakumari route. This route is important from the traders’ point of view.
The Senkottai-Punalar route will likely attract devotees headed to Sabarimala since it passes through important pilgrim centres like Aryankavu and Achankovil that are part of the 108 Sasthalayas and are a must visit for the devotees.
Kollam is 65 km from Thiruvananthapuram. It also has rail connections to Ernakulam (Kochi) via Alappuzha and Kottayam.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
