Key border railway stations, including Katpadi, Gudiyatham, Ambur, Jolarpet, Vaniyambadi are put on high alert with round-the-clock surveillance by armed police personnel to prevent any untoward incidents in the wake of violent agitations against the Agnipath scheme from Saturday.
Officials said these stations offer key connectivity for long distance and goods trains between Chennai and other major cities and port towns. On an average, 150 trains pass through these stations, especially Arakkonam, Katpadi, Ambur and Jolarpet every day.
