British era railway stations at Vellore Cantonment, Tiruvannamalai, Arakkonam, Vaniyambadi get bridges with lifts for commuters
Four railway stations built during the British colonial period—Vellore Cantonment, Tiruvannamalai, Arakkonam, and Vaniyambadi—have received new pedestrian bridges equipped with lifts. The upgrades aim to improve accessibility for passengers, especially those with mobility challenges, by providing step‑free routes between platforms and station exits. The project is part of a broader effort to modernise older stations across India.
