Southern Railway might begin circular suburban train services between Arakkonam and Chengalpet in 10 days. The plan to run 12-car EMU is waiting for general manager approval because of model code of conduct and Arakkonam-Takkolam detour line was linked by southern railway to the Arakkonam-Jolarpet line.
During April 11 and 15, several suburban trains got cancelled due to non interlocking block commissioning and in few days the circular suburban services will come to existence.
Special trains as of now will become regular on May 23 after election results. Defense ministry sanctioned 60 crores for electrified line connecting Takkolam and Arakkonam.
