Tiruvottiyur residents take out rally for Metro Rail connectivity

Staff Reporter

CHENNAI: Hundreds of people participated in a march organised by North Chennai People’s Rights Federation on Sunday to urge the State government to implement the Metro Rail project from Tiruvottiyur.

Addressing the participants, Tiruvottiyur Municipality Chairman R. Jayaraman said that lakhs of people, particularly labourers, traders and industrial workers in north Chennai would be benefited if Tiruvottiyur is connected under the proposed the Metro Rail project. There was enough land available in Tiruvottiyur for the project.

The residents felt that the project would bridge the infrastructural gap between the northern and the southern part of the city.

S.S. Vasan, general secretary of ACL Social Service Society, Gummidipoondi, said that the Metro Rail for Tiruvottiyur would serve thousands of residents belonging to the weaker sections of the society in north Chennai. Women who participated said that their children would benefit from this project as connectivity to educational institutions would be better.
