THIRUVANANTHPURAM: President Droupadi Murmu is likely to travel in the Indian Railways’ latest Self-Propelled Inspection Car (SPIC) -- the most advanced model recently inducted by the Southern Railway -- during her upcoming visit to Sabarimala on October 22.

The President is expected to board the newly commissioned SPIC for a special inspection-cum-travel run through parts of the Southern Railway network.

The rail journey will culminate at Chengannur railway station, from where she is scheduled to proceed by road to Pampa, the foothills of the Sabarimala shrine.
