Poll

Railways bifuricates Tuticorin town.First gate near the station is closed frequently affecting easy commutation. Does constructing overbridge helps ?

No.Overbridge affects the business in that location.Moving the station out is the best option
Yes - I am in favour of the overbridge
Well, an underpass can be considered-as the road is wide in that location
Hmm...mono rail would be a good alternate-Ferry the passenger from station to Melavittan through Monorail
