Commuters unhappy over choice of Perambur as Chennai’s fourth terminalPremium
Southern Railway is facing criticism for its decision to make Perambur the fourth railway terminal in Chennai. Many commuters and social activists believe Perambur is unsuitable due to inadequate infrastructure, traffic congestion, and its proximity to Basin Bridge station, which experiences similar operational challenges. They suggest alternative locations like Tiruvallur, Pattabiram,... Arakkonam, or Royapuram, citing better infrastructure, land availability, and connectivity. The railway official justifies the choice of Perambur due to its proximity to Loco Works, Carriage Works, and the Integral Coach Factory, allowing for land utilization without acquisition. The official also emphasizes the need to accommodate 26-car rakes, which other options lack. Villivakkam was ruled out due to limited land availability. Despite previous considerations of Salt Cotaurs and Royapuram, Perambur was ultimately selected as a satellite terminal to Central due to land constraints and flood risk in the Central area.
Chennai mein chautha railway terminal banne ke liye Perambur ko chuna gaya hai, lekin is decision se kai log khush nahi hain. Commuters aur social activists ka kehna hai ki Perambur mein infrastructure kaafi kam hai, traffic bahut zyada hai, aur Basin Bridge station jaise problems bhi wahan hain. Unka suggestion... hai ki Tiruvallur, Pattabiram, Arakkonam ya Royapuram jaise jagah pe terminal banaya jaaye. Unka kehna hai ki in jagah pe better infrastructure, land, aur connectivity hai. Railway official ka kehna hai ki Perambur isliye chuna gaya kyunki ye Loco Works, Carriage Works, aur ICF ke paas hai, jisse bina land acquire kiye terminal banaya ja sakta hai. Unka kehna hai ki 26-car rakes ko chalane ke liye bhi Perambur ek acha option hai. Villivakkam ko isliye reject kiya gaya kyunki wahan land kam hai. Salt Cotaurs aur Royapuram pe bhi socha gaya, lekin Perambur ko Central ka satellite terminal banaya gaya kyunki Central ke aas-paas land kam hai aur flood ka risk bhi hai.

In October 2023, a passenger on the Mumbai-Madgaon Express captured a video of rats feasting on food in the pantry. He reported the issue to the RPF, but they dismissed his concerns claiming that there are hundreds of rats under the tracks. The pantry manager admitted to the presence of rats but said they couldn't do anything about it due to receiving substandard coaches.
