Lack of basic amenities risks passenger safety at Anaimalai Road railway station
The Hindu
Anaimalai Road railway station faces neglect with lack of amenities, posing safety risks for passengers, urging urgent maintenance.
The lack of basic amenities has been causing significant inconvenience to passengers frequenting the Anaimalai Road railway station.
The station, which opened on April 1, 1932, shows visible signs of neglect. Despite being used by over 200 passengers per day, it is yet to have designated parking spaces.
Compounding the situation are the non-functioning toilets, broken drinking water taps and the absence of a roof inside the station premises. The lack of maintenance has also resulted in vegetation overgrowth, which could make it a haven for snakes, further endangering passenger safety.
Locals have called upon the railway administration to address these pressing issues and restore the station to a standard befitting its importance.
