The Maliha Sangham demanded that the ladies compartment be attached to the middle of the train and not at the end. A statement issued here by Mallika Stalin, president, and S. Sreekumari, secretary of the organisation, said that many stations had vegetation growing on their premises which needed to be cleared so as to facilitate free movement of passengers on the station.Kamala Sadanandan, State president of the organisation, inaugurated the march.
