Bangaluru, February 25 (MExN): The President of the North East India Welfare Association Chennai (NEIWAC) and Pastor of Naga Christian Fellowship Chennai (NCF Chennai), Wapangtoshi, has emphasized the need for reinstating the Chennai region origin train service with a stop at Dimapur Railway Station.
This service played a crucial role in connecting people from North-East India to Chennai, benefiting a large number of individuals, the president stated in a press release.
The discontinuation of this service has caused immense difficulty for the community in traveling back to their hometowns and for those coming to Chennai for essential purposes, it was noted.
Accordingly, the association has sought the intervention of the Governor of Tamil Nadu, RN Ravi, in reaching out to the Railway Ministry to consider reinstating the train service. Ravi is also the former Governor of Nagaland.
This action will not only benefit the affected community but also strengthen the bond between the people of Tamil Nadu and North-East India, contributing to a more inclusive and harmonious society, the release mentioned.
It was learned that the NEIWAC President has already met Governor RN Ravi on the issue, and the latter has assured to look into the matter.
