With just three days left for Deepavali, Coimbatore railway station has been witnessing a heavy rush of passengers as workers from various districts who are employed in the city have begun leaving for their hometowns to celebrate the festival with their families.

Of the nearly 20 lakh people living in Coimbatore, around 40% are from other districts. A large number of people from Tiruchi, Theni, Dindigul, Madurai, Pudukkottai, Rameswaram, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Tenkasi and Virudhunagar are employed in the industrial city. They usually travel to their native places with their families during festivals such as Deepavali, Pongal and Tamil New Year.

With several workers having received their Deepavali bonuses, many have started travelling to their hometowns by train ahead of the festival.

Students from other districts pursuing higher education in engineering, medicine, arts and science, nursing and agriculture colleges in Coimbatore are also preparing to return home for the celebrations.

Special trains are scheduled to be operated from Coimbatore to Chennai. The Coimbatore District Railway Passengers' Association had also earlier sought the operation of special trains with unreserved coaches to Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Tenkasi and Nagercoil. However, no announcement has been made so far, it said.
