Subway plan for Ariyamangalam moves forward after land survey
Trichy: In a positive development for residents of Ariyamangalam, Trichy, a land survey to assess the area required for a proposed subway at Ukkadai was completed on Thursday. The subway aims to provide a safe passage across the railway tracks for pedestrians, two-wheelers, and autorickshaws. The move follows a request by Trichy MP Durai Vaiko to the Trichy railway division, urging the construction of a subway instead of the planned retaining walls along the railway line between Srirangam and Ponmalai stations. Residents and the MP had earlier met divisional railway manager M S Anbalagan to halt the wall construction, which they said would block access and force locals to take a 1.5 km detour. To advance the long-pending proposal — first raised 15 years ago — the MP formed a coordination team including two retired railway officials. With support from Trichy Corporation Zone III chairperson M Mathivanan, the team brought in a surveyor to assess the land. The survey identified the extent of railway and state-owned land, along with areas of encroachment. "There are some encroachments that need to be cleared for the subway. The land details will be shared with the railway division to proceed with the design," a source involved in the survey said. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

To mitigate such risks, cautionary and statutory signboards were installed to advise road users to strictly adhere to safety norms while crossing the railway tracks. The DRM underlined the ongoing efforts to enhance safety through the rationalization of level crossings by constructing limited use subways (LUS), road under bridges (RUBs), and road over bridges (ROBs) in collaboration with the state govt.
