South Central Railway has retrofitted four heritage stations—Vellore Cantonment, Tiruvannamalai, Arakkonam and Vaniyambadi—with pedestrian bridges and lifts, ending manual crossings. The lifts now help elderly and disabled passengers move between platforms safely. Alongside, the region’s railway safety has been bolstered by the activation of KAVACH 4.0, a collision avoidance system. The upgrades mark a shift towards automated, barrier-free access and enhanced security.
