1. The pilgrims who are coming from North India to Rameswaram, kanyaumari, Trichy, Madurai and other
places in Tamilnadu are suffering a lot at Central Railway station to go to Egmore Railway station in
Chennai to catch the south bound trains of Southern Railway. Taxi drivers and auto drivers are
demanding 400 to 500 rupees to go to Egmore which is only two kilometers from Central. Foreign
tourists are also not left over. As they dont know Tamil they have no other chance to escape from this
crisis.
In Varanasi when you ask the taxi and auto drivers to go to kasivishwanathar temple by mere slant of
you they understand that you are from South India and demand 400 to 500 rupees. To escape what you
will have to do is just say nat kot mutt chalo and simply board the vehicle and sit inside. They will
leave you in the nat kot mutt (nattukkottai chettiar mutt)(inn) for only 80 to 100 rupees. From there
you can go to the temple easily (they will help you).
It is not necessary for the North Indian pilgrims and foreigners to waste one or two days in Chennai
unnecessarily. If the Central and Egmore stations are linked by rail tracks we can have our kasi
rameswaram express and other trains from Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta to our Rameswaram which has the
historical link with our Lord Rama.

It is easy for the Railway Authorities to link Central and Egmore stations near Park station by getting
some land from Central Jail and General Hospital which are also Government properties.
One flyover is essential at the road cross but it is not a big thing as many flyovevers are already there as
beautiful landmarks.
