Summary:
After eight years, the escalators at the MRTS railway station in Chintadripet are moving. RPF police personnel have been instructed to have regular surveillance of these stations, officials say. Railway officials say escalators and lifts in most MRTS stations don’t function mainly due to water seepage, technical faults and theft of spareparts from these stations. Easy accessibility, especially through escalators and lifts, and safety are major concerns raised by commuters,” says a Railway official. In March 2010, Southern Railway gave a facelift to the Chintadripet station..
