Member of Parliament K. Shanmugasundaram writes to Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
Pollachi MP K. Shanmugasundaram on Wednesday wrote to Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw demanding improvement of various facilities at Pollachi Railway Station. In the letter, he alleged that the railway station yard was being cleaned only during the visits of railway officials and was neglected otherwise.
He pointed out the lack of facilities such as handrails for the stairs leading to Platforms 2 and 3, toilets for differently abled and reverse osmosis water purifiers.
Mr. Shanmugasundaram alleged that the passenger rest room was locked and the dedicated water pipeline for the Pollachi Railway Station from River Ambarampalayam, which was available during the metre gauge era, was non-functional.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
