According to the data there around 11 platform in Egmore Railway Station and previously the maintenance of above Platforms, Pathways, Toilets, VIP Rooms were given to private for a contract period of 3 years and before the contract the cleaning process was being carried out by Railway Department and as the signed contract is going to expire and ends up by January 2012 the Railway department has decided to recruit agents for its maintenance work and this time the Railway Department has decided to separate and assign its maintenance contract for two agents.
