These enhancements are crucial for improving passenger comfort, safety, and reliability, as well as for facilitating smoother transportation of goods.

As discussions progress, stakeholders anticipate that the Ministry of Railways will consider the plea favourably, recognizing the significance of robust railway infrastructure in driving socio-economic progress and connectivity enhancement in Southern India.
