  "account": "On Sunday, October 11, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Tamil Nadu to inaugurate five upgraded Amrit Bharat stations and commission the Karaikal-Peralam railway line, along with three rail flyovers. These projects, valued at approximately Rs 750 crore, aim to enhance passenger amenities, bolster rail connectivity, and expand the railway network in the state.\n\nThe five redeveloped stations—Ambasamudram, Palani, Namakkal, Paramakkudi, and Vellore Cantonment—have undergone renovations encompassing station buildings, waiting areas, platforms, parking facilities, and passenger information systems. Accessibility enhancements, such as ramps, lifts, and accessible toilets, have been incorporated to cater to individuals with disabilities.\n\nThe 23-kilometer Karaikal-Peralam railway line has been developed at a cost exceeding Rs 550 crore, while the three rail flyovers have been constructed at an expense of over Rs 120 crore. These projects will significantly bolster rail connectivity and upgrade passenger facilities across Tamil Nadu.",
