According to a statement released by the Southern Railway, the historically significant city of Puducherry, renowned for its tranquil beaches, colonial architectural marvels, and cultural legacy, is on the brink of a substantial overhaul of its railway station. This redevelopment aims to create a modern transportation hub while preserving aesthetics.
