About Montevideo
Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, is the most populated city of the country, with approximately two million inhabitants. A beautiful bay, shaped by the coasts of the Río de la Plata, gives rise to one of the most important ports in Latin America, which is also one of the bases of the economy of the city. The port is also a frequent stop for numerous cruise ships arriving in Uruguay. The Río de la Plata mixes with the Atlantic Ocean and these waters bathe the shores of Montevideo. With twenty-two kilometers of coast, numerous beaches are enjoyed by natives and visitors.
In addition to the beaches, visitors in Montevideo also have different options to spend their leisure time. It is not a mountainous region. However, small hills are present. Among these hills, the Montevideo Hill is an interesting point of the city. With a height of one hundred thirty-five meters, from its top it is possible to have a perfect view of the bay. Different touristic circuits are also available for those who want to know the most attractive places that Montevideo has to offer.
The architectonic structure of the city can be divided in what is known as the Old City, where tourists will find colonial-style buildings, and the Modern City, the contemporary counterpart of the community. Thus, tourists get an idea of the historical transition lived by the city. As in any large city, the cultural activity is also an attraction for tourists. Theatres, cinemas, and museums are available for those interested in a quiet time in Montevideo. Guided visits to the Old City, the Tango Tour, and the circuit to the rural part of Montevideo are among the most popular circuits chosen by tourist every year.
Accommodation in Montevideo is diverse. However, hostels in Montevideo are the choice for tourists seeking to enjoy Montevideo at a low budget. A large number of Montevideo hostels are available, located either in the Old City or in the modern area of Montevideo. As a general rule, they offer free breakfast, city maps, and internet service. Laundry service may also be available. Private or shared rooms with private or shared bathrooms, TV, library, barbecue area, luggage room, and locker service are the main features of hostels in Montevideo. In most of them it is possible to obtain touristic information. Therefore, Montevideo hostels are an excellent choice for visitors looking for a pleasant atmosphere while having a great time in Montevideo.

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: Faced with a phenomenal increase in freight as well as passenger traffic, Southern Railway launched a massive capacity building mission at a cost of Rs.10,316 crore.
The zone has undertaken Rs.4,116-crore worth of works in gauge conversion, invested Rs.2,982 crore in new lines, Rs.3,190 crore in doubling and Rs.28 crore in improving traffic facilities.
These works will improve line capacity on trunk routes to cope with the massive increase in traffic, said Southern Railway General Manager M.S. Jayanth here on Thursday. Presiding over the 54th Railway Week celebrations, he said to handle additional freight and passenger requirements, several enhancement works had been taken up by the zone.
These included removal of speed restrictions in many sections and increase in speed in certain other sections.
The General Manager said the overall gross earnings had witnessed a growth of 8.9 per cent to 16.4 per cent. An important feature of last year's achievement was that the growth in freight, sundry and other coaching had contributed more than passenger earnings.
The zone had achieved the best ever loading of 33.765 million tonnes as against the previous year's loading of 30.031 million tonnes and the previous best of 31.073 million tonnes.
There was explosive growth of passenger traffic. The zone transported 685.43 million passengers as against 459.1 million in 2004-05.
To meet the ever growing demand of passenger traffic, the zone operated 2,070 specials. Additional 7,003 coaches were also added with a view to clear the waitlisted passengers.
To provide additional amenities to passengers, Southern Railway spent Rs.73 crore as against the budget grant of Rs.43 crore.
On the rolling stock front, expansion of Erode electric loco shed from 100 to 175 and a new electric loco shed at Royapuram to house 100 locos were planned.
In the current financial year, the Madurai- Dindigul double line, Tiruvallur – Arakkonam third line and Villupuram – Mayiladuthurai BG line would become operational, he added.
