Chennai: Suburban stations as obstacle courses
Earlier posts on this blog have drawn a heart-warming reaction from scholars studying the plight of pedestrian rights in Chennai.
Here is a picture of the current state of the entrance to Kodambakkam suburban train station. This serious obstacle to the movement of passengers at the station entrance has been lying almost unattended for a month now. Remember that this station is used by many blind people who go to the Backward Classes Students Hostel on Viswanathapuram Main Road.
