Rail link to be restored after a gap of over 30 years
With the Central government making a sizeable allocation of ₹88.9 crore to the 23.5-km Karaikal - Thirunallar-Peralam railway line, the rail link will be restored after a gap of over 30 years.
The Southern Railway Construction Organisation plans to take up construction of minor bridges on the stretch from next month. Bushes are being cleared between Thirunallar and Karaikal, said railway sources. The stretch will have a major bridge across the Vanjiaaru near Karaikal and 77 minor bridges.
