The Southern Railway has clarified that names of the railway stations and other name plates in Central government offices are written in trilingual - Tamil, Hindi and English- as mandated by The Official Languages Act, 1963.
Responding to a report “Hindi in name boards at Erode Railway station condemned”, published in these columns on February 16, B. Guganesan, Chief Public Relations Officer, Southern Railway, said the trilingual name boards were installed as per the Act.
The report was based on a letter addressed to Railway Minister by K.N. Basha, vice- president of the Erode District Congress Minority Wing and former member of Zonal Railway User’s Consultative Committee.
