Tirusulam
Tirusulam is a strategically located neighbourhood in south Chennai, most recognized for housing the international terminal of Chennai Airport (Anna International Terminal). The locality sits along the Grand Southern Trunk Road and is served by the Tirusulam suburban railway station, which provides direct rail access to the airport.
