God's presence at Railway Station

Another distressing incident just got vanished because of the presence of mind of an young guy. 

Friday morning (17-Jan-2014) I board on Kollam-Trivandrum passenger on my way to work at Technopark, Kerala. The train was overly crowded because of late running's of trains these days in Kerala. 

And as usual its a big chaos at Kazhakootam railway station as every one inside the train has to disembark. And then the train took off a sudden in less than 30 seconds.
One lady who was trying to board got trapped and slipped into the rail, a person (I would say its God) who was standing close to her got hold off her hair and pulled her back to the platform. Its the presence of mind of that person had eventually saved the lady from an unfortunate end.

It been quiet a while that people who depend on Kazhakootam railway station demands more train stops during peak hours. The cry for this would have been easily close to 2 decades and still the authorities and politicians are reluctant to act up on.

Dear politicians, do you act only when you see these sought of unfortunate things?
Why do authorities put down this very needed request?

Take a look at the number of institutional bodies operate in Kazhakootam area

  1. Technopark - Employing over 42,500 people
  2. Infosys - Officially just above 5000 folks. Once the new infrastructure is completed, the count will be over 13000 - Source
  3. Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (a.k.a VSSC)
  4. Karyavattam Kerala University Campus
  5. College of Engineering and Technology (CET)
  6. Sainik School
  7. Kinfra Film and Video park
  8. Technopark extension at Kinfra Film and Video park
  9. Technopark Phase 111 campus
  10. Marian Engineering College


Above is just an incomplete list based on limited knowledge. But I am sure there will be more highly populated organizations in and around Kazhakootam technopark area.

Public transportation should be for people benefits, it should not be biased on votes of people around that area.

One unconfirmed report from Railway authorities is that, the revenue in Kazhakootam is not on a scale and is the reason why railway is not allowing more train stops.

The Kazhakootam railway station is undoubtedly the forgotten railway station in South Kerala. Several agitation and campaigns have been conducted but all in vain. 

Here is one such which happened recently



Politicians, authorities please open you eyes
