Good news regarding parking facilities in the 24 railway stations in Chennai and TN!!
In the Southern Railways or SR, works regarding bringing parking facilities in 24 railway stations have started now.
There are 6 divisions in the SR namely Chennai, Trichy, Madurai. Salem, Palakkad and Trivandrum and these have more than 700 railway stations. There are parking facilities available at 200 railway stations in Chennai Central, Egmore, Tambaram, Arakkonam, Trichy, Madurai and Coimbatore etc.
It is important to note that the contracts of the contractors at various parking lots of SR have expired and new ones are not yet selected. As a result, the motorists have been finding it difficult as they are unable to park their vehicles in a safe way. These passengers have been continuously insisting the railway authorities provide them with parking lots at the railway stations.
In this scenario, work has been started to bring parking lots at the 24 railway stations in Chennai. According to some officials belonging to SR, contractors would be selected in a phased manner to bring parking lot facilities at the railway stations in Chennai. They spoke about how soon contractors would be selected to provide parking facilities in railway stations like Sevvapet Road, Korukkupettai Goods Shed, Maduranthakam, Perambur, Kottur Puram, Arakkonam, Parangimalai, Tada, Tindivanam, Taramani and Katpadi etc. For this, the process has begun.
