Mayiladuthurai Member of Parliament R. Sudha called on Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, to present a charter of demands on behalf of the people of her constituency.

She called for the extension of train routes, specifically extending the trains from Mayiladuthurai to Villupuram and the trains from Tiruvarur to Villupuram up to Chennai Tambaram. Ms. Sudha called for the resumption of the train service between Mayiladuthurai and Tarangambadi, which was stopped in 1990, by converting it into a double track and extending it to Karaikal.
