South Western Railway commissioned the doubling of tracks between Sanvordem-Chandorgoa-Madgaon on Sunday. As part of doubling, non interlocking work has been completed at Sanvordem, Chandorgoa and Madgaon.
With the commissioning of the line, these facilities are provided in various places. In Madgaon, there is an island platform serving two lines, a loop line with water supply arrangements for passenger train, automatic signalling between Madgaon and Majorda and four additional points have been laid.
At Chandorgoa, a new station building with covered ramp access has been provided and a high level platform has been constructed. At San Juje Da Areal, a new ticket booking counter and a waiting hall have been constructed and two medium level platforms of 540 m length with concrete surface are ready.

Devotees of Lord Ayyappa will now have an opportunity to present their own devotional songs at the hill shrine of Sabarimala, thanks to an initiative by the TDB. The temple management board has decided to include newly composed devotional songs by ordinary devotees in the list of songs played through the public address system at the shrine. At present only devotional songs rendered by renowned singers such as K J Yesudas and Jayavijaya are played at Sabarimala, a Travancore Devaswom Board statement said.
