CHENNAI: Even two months after a train accident claimed three lives at Veppampattu suburban railway station, the residents of Veppampattu and Perumalpattu in Tiruvallur district are still forced to cross railway tracks to access station platforms as there is no foot-over bridge or a pedestrian subway in the area.
Veppampattu is one of the busiest towns in Chennai suburbs, with a market and a huge number of shops dotting both sides of the railway station. Not just passengers, even pedestrians have to cross the railway tracks to reach either side of the station.
