Dogs on platform

On my recent visit to Tirunelveli junction, I saw stray dogs roaming about on platform 1 and a few were sleeping at the entrance. I was told that a good number of dogs could be seen in the evening and night when the junction is busy. These dogs are a threat to passengers. I request the authorities to take steps to free the junction of these dogs to ensure safety of passengers.

Expedite work

Thoothukudi Corporation has burial ground for people of different faiths. During monsoon, the place gets inundated, posing problem for burying the dead and for paying homage to the departed souls. One can find heaps of sand kept for spreading on the ground. I request the authorities to expedite the work.
