Commuters are finding it difficult to travel safely on the Tiruvallur-Tiruttani suburban section and want the Southern Railway to improve security on trains because of the frequent quarrels between different gangs of students. While the Southern Railway has been taking steps to improve the safety of women commuters, particularly at night, by deputing Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel in women’s compartments and taking immediate action through the Kavalan app, the gang war between students in the suburban trains was causing nuisance to commuters.
Two gangs of students possessing dangerous weapons created terror in a compartment of a suburban train proceeding from Chennai Beach to Tiruttani on April 4.
