The railways have decided to auction unclaimed two wheelers at the parking lots of railway stations under Thiruvananthapuram division. The motorcycles will be sold as scrap.
As many as 50 two wheelers, 26 in the parking area at the main entry point at Thampanoor railway station and 26 vehicles at the powerhouse entry parking lot will be sold. The decision was taken after Madras High Court gave permission to the railways to sell off the vehicles as scrap.
As many as 200 unclaimed motor vehicles are lying in the parking lots of Nagercoil, Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Thrissur railway stations, coming under Trivandrum division. Railways took the decision after it was found that these vehicles are reducing the space in the parking area. Railways have passed on the details of vehicles to Motor Vehicle Department.
Details are also available on the website http://www.sr.indianrailways.gov.in, under the link for Trivandrum division news and updates.
However, the owners can approach station master with the poof of ownership and claim the vehicle. They can also contact deputy station master at 09567869377 and claim the vehicle. Railways will auction those vehicles which are not claimed during the stipulated period. Other railway divisions are also planning to take similar action against unclaimed vehicles.
