I couldn’t locate any official announcement regarding the operation of “additional 3 special trains in Tamil Nadu” starting from 12 June 2025. Southern Railway press releases and roster updates for that timeframe do not mention three new Tamil Nadu‑specific specials launched on that date.

ℹ️ Possible Reasons for Misunderstanding
- Press coverage and official notices mostly reference extensions of previously operating specials—not new additions.
- No confirmation from official Southern Railway bulletins about any trio launch of Tamil Nadu-based specials on 12 June 2025.
- It’s conceivable someone misinterpreted extensions of three existing services as new trains.
