CHENNAI: Redevelopment of Egmore railway station is likely to be delayed as the railway ministry has decided to shut down Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation (IRSDC) that was working on making it a world-class facility.
Now, railways will have to start work on it afresh.
Since it took almost seven years after the corporation was formed to include Egmore on the list of stations to be developed, shutting down of the corporation will delay it further. IRSDC had also signed an agreement with a public sector firm for the purpose in 2019 and would have floated a tender to take the work forward.
