Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually inaugurate a restored British-era Vellore Cantonment railway station on October 11, during his visit to the State. The station is located next to a 16th century fort complex in Vellore town.
Railway officials said that Mr. Modi will inaugurate the station through video conferencing from Chennai, where he is expected to inaugurate various completed works of the Southern Railway in the State. “The Vellore Cantonment railway station is located between two pilgrim spots such as Tiruvannamalai and Tirupati.
