Pollachi MP seeks restoration of Coimbatore-Dindigul MEMU service utilising idle rake
Espousing the cause of the travelling public in Coimbatore, Podanur, Kinathukadavu, Pollachi, Udumalpet and Palani, Member of Parliament of Pollachi Constituency K. Eswarasamy has submitted a request to the Southern Railway seeking restoration of Coimbatore-Dindigul-Coimbatore MEMU Special (06106/ 06107). The special service that was operated during the Pongal festival season this year was helpful to farmers, pilgrims, students, business community and general public in about 100 towns and villages in the section. It was stopped citing crew shortage in Madurai Division. Restoration of the train will provide connectivity for passengers along the towns with stoppages in the section bound for Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi and other cities through utilisation of Coimbatore and Dindigul junctions. The MEMU rake that was used for the service was being kept idle at the Coimbatore Railway Junction from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It could be utilised to restart the special service in the interests of several lakhs of passengers utilising the 14 stations in the section. It would increase revenue and track utilisation, Mr. Eswarasamy said.

CCTV shows police assaulting auto driver at Theni station; probe ordered
Theni: Just days after the Sivaganga custodial death case sparked public outrage, CCTV footage has emerged showing uniformed police personnel assaulting an auto driver inside the Devadanapatti police station in Theni district. The incident took place on Jan 14, but came to light only on Wednesday, prompting Theni SP R Shiva Prasad to order an enquiry by the ADSP. Five policemen, including the station inspector, have been moved to the AR pending investigation. The man seen being slapped, kicked, and pushed by the policemen has been identified as C Ramesh, a resident of Devadanapatti. According to police, on the day of the Pongal festival, Ramesh allegedly created a public nuisance in an inebriated state near the Arisikadai bus stop. Police took him into custody after being alerted by locals and brought him to the station. Officials claimed that Ramesh continued to behave aggressively and quarrelled with police personnel inside the station. A case was registered against him under Section 296(b) of the IPC, and he was released later on station bail. The video, which surfaced on Wednesday, contradicts the official account, showing at least five policemen assaulting Ramesh while he offered no visible resistance.
