Amidst lot of expectations from the people of Theni district, Southern Railway would introduce the first-ever express train connecting Bodinayakanur in the district with Chennai from June 15.
This would be the first train to link Theni district outside Madurai ever since it was formed by bifurcating Madurai district in 1996, though special trains had been operated to Melmaruvathur from Bodi in the past, said a teacher, E. Nagarajan (57) of Theni.
“We are eagerly waiting for the train services to provide us hassle-free direct connection to Chennai,” Mr. Nagarajan said.
