Authorities have been alerted about the vandalism of the name board of Chennai Fort railway station, where the Hindi letters were smeared with black paint by unidentified individuals.

A case has been filed by the Railway Police who are in search of two men accused of committing the crime while allegedly intoxicated, as reported by passengers. It has been revealed that the identification of the culprits is proving to be a challenge for the police as several CCTVs at the station are malfunctioning. Meanwhile, the Hindi letters on the nameboard of Chennai Fort railway station were repainted a few hours later.
