Madras by Metro is a metaphor for what Chennai is a mixture of old and new ones.
We boarded Chennai’s latest mode and jumped on several stations along the way to roam on the streets that tell stories about what happened before and how life took place.
All roads can cause Rome, but as far as Metro Chennai goes, all rails lead to the harbor.
A little more than 35 meters, Metro Arignar Barignur was elevated, “Junction Station” between two metro lines in the city – the line of Blue Wimco airports and Green Chennai Central-St Thomas Mount – not just the city’s first multi-level train station, and that The highest, but also the only station where passengers from two corridors can exchange routes.
The Garrison Church tower was lowered by the airport authority.
The church fence was made by melting the weapon of the trick.
You can say it is a Metro partner from Junction Arakkonam Railway South, one of the oldest intersections in the country that connects big cities.
And like Arakkonam, which for most travelers is more transit points than the purpose, the mainland is also missed in Dasari’s daily trips.
Alandur is chosen, explains Ramanathan, a former director (project), Chennai Metro Rail.
How could not, when Nodal Hub connected to North Madras, South Madras, GST Road, Koyambedu, and the airport.
It also has enough space for backup, both horizontally and vertically.
But is there more to the harbor? Just looking towards the metro train window, we can tell you there.
Battle field, for beginners.
We do not only mean constituencies, from where M G Ramachandran made his election debut in 1967 (although it was called a thirmalai later), but the actual battlefield.
History of Buffs, while in Metro, one of the places you will pass near Junction Alandur is OTA Golf Course, which was once a battle place opened in 1759.
This is where France is under Thomas Arthur, a count of Lally, losing to British forces ordered by Lawrence Stringer General Major.
Battlefield now serves as a golf course and tactical training for beginner army officers.
It’s quite far from the requirements running in, but hey, you can catch a glimpse on the metro, and it’s free.
The architect and artist Srishti Prabakar, who have sketched running in Alandur, said the colonial area of the past and the present world.
“On the one hand, you have the chaos of the old world of the market, the hustle and bustle of people who bid their fish, bargain why their pomfret looked fatter in the previous week.
On the other hand, you have Metro Swanky, and then you see everything Arranged with the background of Majestic St.
Thomas Mount.
It is an intersection not only the metro but the culture and history of the city.
“Every time the sketch-walk group walked to Malayur, said Srishti, they finally spent most of their time soaking at the Marvel of the Metro Station.
“Died so beautiful to see the train almost appear from thin air, hills, and trees in the background.” Now, if you play to roam, a little from the metro station is the Church of St.
Thomas Garrison, happens to be no.1 GST Road.
Built at a price of less than Rs 50,000, the church opened in 1830.
The church with the roof of the bomb is now a heritage monument under an Indian archaeological survey.
It is also a place with Lieutenant-Colonel William Lambton, British soldiers and surveyors, starting trigonomethrical surveys against India in 1802, a study that ended near Everest.
Well, who will think …
Even the Everest tracks to the Koran!
Alandur is Arakkonam Chennai
