CHENNAI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of 18 railway stations in the state under the Amrit Bharat Scheme through video conference on Sunday. A large number of rail enthusiasts and members of trade bodies took part in the event.
Passenger associations from Tiruvallur, Arakkonam, Gummidipundi, and Tiruttani have expressed delight over the project. These stations have been witnessing significant footfall from express and suburban travellers but have limited infrastructure. The other four stations chosen for revamp in the Chennai division are Chengalpattu, Perambur, Guduvancheri and Jolarpettai.
