It is five years since it was decided that surveillance cameras would be installed at more than 900 railway stations in the country under the Nirbhaya Fund; However, the Chromepet railway station is yet to get this facility, says Chromepet Rail Users’ Forum
Chromepet Rail Users’ Forum has requested the Southern Railway to install surveillance cameras on the premises of the Chromepet railway station. The appeal comes in the wake of an unidentified person being found dead at the station on October 7.
“It is five years since it was decided that surveillance cameras would be installed in more than 900 railway stations in the country under the Nirbhaya Fund. However, Chromepet railway station is yet to get this facility,” says V. Santhanam, the forum’s secretary.
Further, the forum points out that the refreshment stalls remain locked at the station for the past few years.
