A Basic Needs of Papanasam
1) Papanasam Municipality

(1/3)
In view of the forthcoming Mahamagam Festival in 2028, I kindly request you to consider the following proposals:
1. Approve the doubling of the Thanjavur–Villupuram railway line, with special priority given to expediting the Thanjavur–Mayiladuthurai section.
2. Introduce a new train service between Thanjavur and Haridwar/Rishikesh via Kumbakonam and New Delhi. This will greatly support pilgrims by honoring the deep spiritual connectivity between the Kumbh Mela and the Mahamagam Festival

⏳ THE CLOCK IS TICKING!
Expedite the Doubling process of Thanjavur - Villupuram railway line
Mahamagam 2028 is approaching fast. With an expected 3 CRORE devotees heading to Kumbakonam for the holy dip, a single railway line will simply not survive the rush.
This vital route handles a massive chunk of the division's load: 35 - 40% of total originating passengers & 25 - 30% of total revenue
Passenger volume is skyrocketing:
📉 2022-23: 1.18 Crore
🚀 2025-26: 1.46 Crore
We urgently request @RailMinIndia & @GMSRailway to expedite the doubling project ASAP!!🚉
Figures were based on RTI.
