The Southern Railway (SR) has decided to pay more attention to cleanliness and maintenance of the coaches by engaging authorised service agencies, including the private players in pest control who would regularly be maintaining the coaches.
Besides, the SR would also establish a ‘modern’ laundry in the city to clean superior quality linen. The SR would be spending र1,700 crore this year towards gauge conversion, construction of Road-Over-Bridges (ROB), Road-Under-Bridges (RUB) and various other works.
The service would also extend to newly introduced trains like bi-weekly Duronto Express-Chennai Central- Madurai and Chennai Central-Thiruvananthapuram, Kanyakumari-Dibrugarh Vivek Express, Chennai Central-Mysore Superfast Express, Puducherry-New Delhi Super Fast Express and Mangalore Central-Palakkad Inter-City Express.
