Railway should start service to Kumbakonam

Indian Railways is the lifeline of the country, but what do you do when the lifeline doesn't reach you? For many in South India, this is one key question plaguing them. In a country that takes pride in its railways, there is one town in South India which is not connected to the Indian commercial capital—Mumbai. The town is Kumbakonam, in Tamil Nadu.
There are many ways of reach Kumbakonam—by journeying through multiple trains. In this representation, I hope to be able to bring out the plight of travellers from Mumbai and Navi Mumbai who have to go through a harrowing journey before they reach their hometown, a religious centre and the number of travellers amounts to over one lakh passengers every week. The various time tables and round about routes to reach Kumbakonam is round about and there is no direct approach to the religious place in the southern part of India. However, there are no direct trains from Mumbai to Kumbakonam via Vilupuram or Thanjavoor so that city Tamilians reach the pilgrim city without taking much pain.
When Jaffer Sheriff was the Railway Minister he introduced many trains to Bangalore and other cities in Karnataka including Udupi and Dharmashala with his initiative. After him, there was no railway minister from south and the southern sector, especially Tamil Nadu is being neglected. There is no Rajadhani Express between Chennai and Mumbai. Rajadhani Express connecting all the Metros is there, but at the same time Chennai route is neglected all these days. Why a temple city like Kumbakonam is not finding a place in the railway map. It is for the Railways to take up the cause of rail commuters to the temple city through the shortest route possible and save time and money. I hope the Indian Railways look into the matter and do the needful.
