Chennai Metro Rail
Chennai is the fourth largest metropolitan city in India. In recent years, the population has risen rapidly and thus required the need for reliable and safe transportation. Currently, the city already has multiple modes of transportation including an extensive bus system run by the Chennai MTC. The transportation network is augmented by the Chennai suburban railway network run by the Southern Railway. Furthermore, the Southern Railway runs the Chennai Mass Rapid Transit System, an elevated metropolitan railway system was sanctioned in 1984 to relieve congestion in central Chennai. Despite the improvement measures that were made, traffic congestion has continued to be an issue for both the residents and the city government. As a result, the Chennai Corporation has decided to implement the Chennai Metro project which will provide another mode of transportation for Chennai.

The rapid Naxal movement & its after effects by the government in the eastern part of the country, force these people to work away from their homeland.
