Chromepet Station Escalator Out of Service for Six Months

Imagine an escalator at a train station that helps people go up and down.

For over half a year, the one at Chromepet station in Chennai stopped working.

This made it hard for people, especially older folks and those with heavy bags, to get around.

A commuter even collapsed while using the stairs.

People are worried about safety because some commuters take dangerous shortcuts by crossing busy roads.

The area around the footbridge has also become unsafe due to people drinking there.

The people who use the train station are calling for authorities to fix the escalator, increase security, and make sure the area is safe.
