After many years, the Katpadi railway station will get a makeover with key basic amenities for passengers, train service expansion, inter-transport connectivity and facilities for disabled persons.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the ₹365-crore Station Redevelopment Project through a video conference from Chennai on Thursday.
Tucked between major railway junctions like Jolarpet to the north and Arakkonam to the south, the Katpadi junction covers around 86 acres along the Palar, connecting key stations like Vellore Cantonment, Walajah Road, Arcot, Sholinghur and Tiruvalam.
