The Hindu
Only clearance from CMRS is pending to open the station
The opening of Tiruvottiyur Theradi station in the Phase I extension of Chennai Metro Rail Ltd. (CMRL) has been delayed again.
In February last year, this 9-km stretch between Washermenpet and Wimco Nagar, taken up at a cost of ₹3,770 crore, was thrown open to public. The Tiruvottiyur Theradi station alone could not be opened as it was still under construction. But almost a year on, commuters continue to suffer and residents have to board trains from nearby stations.
According to CMRL officials, the construction work of this station is complete and only clearance by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) was awaited.
