Fast-track work
A railway overbridge on Sholavandan- Vadipatti road is under construction since 2007. The work has been going at a snail’s pace and people are forced to wait on either side of the level crossing of Madurai- Dindigul electrified double track for several minutes for the trains to pass by. Between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., when not less than five trains pass by, people are subjected to severe hardships. Residents of Sholavandan and 40 other villages have to necessarily cross the tracks to reach Vadipatti. As not less than 70 trains cross each day here, the authorities need to fast-track the work.
