Particulars
M. Jambulingam Mudaliar wanted a railway between Salem and Cuddalore. The government would give permission only if the bus service carried at least 50 people daily for a year.
Mudaliar paid for his 50 servants to travel on the route for a year. That satisfied the condition and secured permission for the railway project.
