TIRUCHY: In a relief for passengers, Platform 8 at Tiruchy railway junction was commissioned for public use on Wednesday. The platform, which would handle trains on Madurai and Karaikudi routes, would also reduce the rush at the main entrance i.e. the one near Platform 1, officials said. Over the past four weeks, a team of over 300 staff undertook various engineering works pertaining to the commissioning of Platform 8. These, however, affected several train services through Tiruchy division.
