The Southern Railway will execute works for various passenger amenities, including the construction of a foot overbridge (FOB) at the Pattabiram Military Siding (PTMS) railway station. This comes in the wake of commuters highlighting poor access amenities to reach the suburban platforms of the railway station.
The Pattabiram Military Siding railway station, which branches off from the Pattabiram railway station, was originally established for defence personnel and transporting defence goods. Over the years, several residential localities have come up inside the defence area, including Muthapudupet and Mittinamelli.
A senior official of the Southern Railway said tender for the construction of a 3 metre wide FOB across seven tracks of the PTMS yard was awarded in May this year at a cost of ₹2.93 crore.
