lift facility needed at tambaram railway station

Address: 600126

As aged people are facing difficult in taking escalator to climb steps at tambaram railway station for boarding passenger trains going down south very frequently, it would be kind enough to provide lift facilities on both sides of railway station (East and west), would be much useful a lot for all passengers.

Kindly consider this request for helping aged people who will be thankful if implemented.

Thank
Residents...
