THOUSANDS OF COMMUTERS SUFFER AS SIGNAL FAILURE HITS CHENNAI SUBURBAN TRAINS!

Thousands of commuters who are travelling between Chengalpattu-Chennai Beach route had a tough time after a signal failure occurred near Kattankulathur Station.

“The signal failure at Kattankulathur station was rectified in 40 minutes. Train services later resumed," said a senior official, reports News Today.

People who live beyong Tambaram and who go to school, college and office use suburb train service. Commuters allege that they reach their destinations late at least twice or thrice a week.

“As trains arrive late, passengers who were to be accommodated in three trains board on one. This leads to suffocation inside the compartment. Also, with many forced to travel foot-board, they face the risk of falling down or getting hit by poles,”  said a commuter, reports News Today.
