Electricity has now been supplied to Punalur railway station from the Chengkotta traction substation, allowing electric locomotives to operate. However, the South Indian Railway...

Electricity has also been supplied to the Chengkotta substation yard, as well as to parts of Tirunelveli and Virudhunagar. The construction of the Chengkotta traction substation near the railway station, which began a year ago, was commissioned last week. However, the Punalur substation, which began construction three years ago, has not yet been electrified. The railway has already paid Rs. 28 crore to KSEB for the project. Work has begun to lay 2.7 km of underground cables from the KSEB Punalur substation, but this requires permissions from multiple departments. The delay in electrifying the Punalur substation has been attributed to the slow pace of work by KSEB.

Chengkotta substation yard aur Tirunelveli aur Virudhunagar ke kuchh hisso mein bhi electricity supply shuru ho gayi hai. Railway station ke paas Chengkotta traction substation ka construction ek saal pehle shuru hua tha aur pichhle hafte commission kiya gaya. Lekin, Punalur substation, jiska construction 3 saal pehle shuru hua tha, abhi tak electrified nahi ho paya hai. Railway ne is project ke liye KSEB ko 28 crore rupees de diye hain. KSEB Punalur substation se 2.7 km underground cables layne ka kaam shuru ho gaya hai, lekin iske liye bahut sare departments se permission lene ki jarurat hai. Punalur substation ke electrification mein delay KSEB ke kaam ki slow pace ki wajah se hai.
