Tirupur: MP Subbarayan from Tirupur in his recent speech in the Parliament, putforth the demands of the Tirupur entrepreneurs regarding the extension of the Metro Rail Service between Ukkadam and Kaniyur upto Tirupur. 

" The proposal for providing Metro Rail Service to Coimbatore City is under consideration. It is learnt that a line is being planned from Ukkadam to Kaniyur. The entrepreneurs of Tirupur have suggested the line to be extended upto Tirupur via the Coimbatore Airport", he spoke in the Parliament.
