History

The station lies on the Tiruchendur-Thoothukudi state highway. There are many salt fields in the surrounding areas . The main reason for building this station was for freight transport. The salt manufactured were processed in mills, then packed and finally transported. But now salt transportation through goods train has stopped [2].

gollark: Rednet actually did gain some neat features around... was it 1.6?
gollark: In ye olden times, there was only `rednet` and it was uninterceptable and unspoofable and all. Fortunately, we have raw modem now.
gollark: The modem API is the actual good low-level interface, rednet is a wrapper to maintain compatibility with older programs made when it was the low-level interface.
