Centre sanctions third, fourth railway lines between Renigunta and Arakkonam
It will benefit thousands of devotees visiting Tirupati every day by scores of trains, says MP Gurumoorthy
The Union Government has sanctioned the third and fourth railway lines between Renigunta Junction and Arakkonam Junction stations, a 77 km stretch on the busy Chennai route. This crucial section, connecting Chennai with western, northern, and southern routes, is widely recognized as the most important in southern India. Renigunta, serving as the gateway to Tirupati, stands to benefit significantly from these developments, with thousands of daily devotees expected to benefit from enhanced rail connectivity.
Member of Parliament for Tirupati, M. Gurumoorthy, expressed gratitude to Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for acknowledging the critical nature of this route. Gurumoorthy urged the Ministry to consider expanding the number of express and passenger trains on this key section, which currently experiences heavy traffic.
