MALABAR KRANTI express

Dear Mr. Shabeer,

http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/article3608305.ece

The above hyperlink from 'The Hindu', states that on July 13th 2012, just a week's time from now, the  Southern Railway is also planning to flag off the Intercity Express to Mangalore Central from Coimbatore from Friday – June 13 (Intercity Express between Mangalore Central to Palakkad is being extended up to Coimbatore). 

So, Please intensify your efforts and talk to eminent people in  MALABAR & historians like Shri. Sivadasan ( who wrote a book on 'Wagon tragedy') & VIP's like Shri. E. Ahmed, Hon'ble Union Minister of State for External affairs ( who was earlier Union Minister of state for railways) to get this train ( 22609 10 Mangalore - Coimbatore express as MALABAR KRANTI express) & HONOUR the wagon tragedy martyrs. This train has not been given halt at Podanur jn where the wagon was opened to see the 64 martyrs of the incident died.

Please take the necessary steps and do the needful.
Thank you & regards,

Ravi S

Dear Mr. Shabeer,

Now, I have got confirmed information that on 11th or 13th July, 2012, the train no. 22609 / 10 Mangalore - Palakkad Intercity express will be extended to Coimbatore jn.

It is happy to note that you are taking steps in this regard. Even in Coimbatore, there is a separate place where in the year 1921 few of the martyrs of the "Wagon Tragedy' incident were buried.

A request is being made by Kerala Cultural Forum and few other organizations based in Coimbatore to name the train 22609 / 10 as MALABAR KRANTI EXPRESS.

I kindly request you to speed up the matters and inform the VIP's in Malabar & Kerala. The no. of MLA of Mannarkkad, Mr. Shamsudeen is ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.

I have spoken with Mr.Shamsudeen many times and he said that he would take steps from his side. I request you to contact Mr. Shamsudeen reg. this and you can refer my name ( Ravi from Coimbatore)

REMEMBER, THIS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY AND MALABAR PEOPLE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE IN HONOURING THE MARTYRS OF WAGON TRAGEDY INCIDENT.

thank you & regards,

Ravi S
 Thank you Shabeer Mon for that immediate reply of yours !!

Since, 11th July 2012 is the day ( proposed) for extending that train to Coimbatore, I thought of informing you so that you can take immediate steps.
As of now, Podanur jn is not given a halt. But, they may give a halt at PODANUR jn so that this train stops both at TIRUR and PODANUR jn which both where mute witness to this sorrowful event.

Advance Congratulations !!

thank you & regards,

Ravi S
