Honourable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, Namaskaram.
We, the people of Vellore, Tamil Nadu, respectfully submit this long-standing request to rename our primary railway station from Katpadi to #Vellore.
Vellore is a historic Fort City with immense national significance. It was the site of the First Sepoy Mutiny in 1806, which laid the foundation for India’s freedom struggle. Despite its rich heritage and historical importance, the name “Vellore” is not reflected in our main railway station, which serves as the primary gateway to the city.
Katpadi Junction is located within Vellore City limits and functions as the major railway hub serving the entire region. As it is the principal station representing Vellore, we believe the city’s historic name should be prominently reflected.
We understand that your government is focusing on strengthening and restoring India’s cultural and historical heritage. In that spirit, we humbly request that Katpadi Railway Station be renamed as Vellore Railway Station, so that the city’s identity and contribution to the nation’s history receive the recognition they deserve across the Indian Railways network.
This is a heartfelt and genuine request from the people of Vellore.
We wholeheartedly welcome you to our historic fort city and look forward to your kind consideration of our appeal.
With respect and regards,
The People of Vellore
Tamil Nadu

@Chandramaya1208 Even in the 2011 Census, many areas within the Vellore municipal limits were not included. If the Municipal Corporation is expanded now, the population will certainly cross 1 m or more or less.
@Updates_Vellore@UpdatesChennai Chennai Updates lam Vellore ah Perusa Nenachu Post Panna Mataru Bro... In my honest opinion Vellore Avangaluku Pidikala.. 😔 Vellore Airport Kaga 1 Post Push pani Potrupara?
@UpdatesChennai Just as Pune grew alongside Mumbai, Vellore can grow alongside Chennai. Please lend your voice to Vellore's development.
You've spoken about many cities and municipal issues, but very little about Vellore. We hope you'll also highlight Vellore's growth potential.

@TeLangAndroid@cvkrishnan@Updates_Vellore@UpdatesChennai Say this to people who divide others based on language and etncty. We, the people of Vellore, have never seen Chittoor as separate we've always considered them our brothers... Take this kind of divisive talk elsewhere, and first learn to speak with respect.
@TeLangAndroid@cvkrishnan@Updates_Vellore@UpdatesChennai Are you joking, man? You already have two expressways just outside the city and a ring road-like bypass. Vellore's population has almost crossed 800,000, yet we're still missing basic infrastructure like a proper bypass. Don't turn this into a comedy.
@cvkrishnan@Updates_Vellore@UpdatesChennai If a Chittoor bullet railway station is introduced, it should be named "Vellore–Chittoor" to preserve Vellore's identity and improve recognition.
@cvkrishnan@Updates_Vellore@UpdatesChennai Vellore's identity has already been overshadowed by the name "Katpadi" on railway maps, and many people don't realize Katpadi is part of Vellore they assume it's a separate town.

@UpdatesChennai Dropping the Parandur Airport project will not only affect Chennai, but also have a significant impact on Kanchipuram, Vellore, Ranipet, and other surrounding districts by limiting future economic growth, connectivity, investment opportunities, and employment generation.
