Chennai Metro Rail (CMRL) is experiencing delays in the retrofitting of stations, prompting attention from the Madras High Court. The court has expressed concern over the slow progress of this essential aspect of the project, emphasising its significance in advancing the overall development of the metro system.

The retrofitting of stations is a crucial component of CMRL's initiative to enhance and modernise the metro infrastructure. The Madras High Court's intervention underscores the importance of adhering to timelines and ensuring timely completion to avoid disruptions and inconveniences for commuters.

While CMRL has made strides in the development of the metro system, the delay in station retrofitting has become a focal point of judicial attention. The court's oversight aims to encourage prompt and efficient execution, ensuring that the public transportation project reaches its intended milestones without significant hindrances.

As the High Court monitors the progress of CMRL's station retrofitting, the spotlight on this aspect of the project may serve as a catalyst for expediting work and meeting established deadlines. The timely completion of station retrofitting is essential not only for the efficiency of the metro system but also for the overall improvement of the commuting experience for residents in Chennai.
