Recently I found many trains terminating at Chennai Central/Passing through Chennai Egnore/Passing through Perambur and terminating at other parts of Tamilnadu from Delhi, Mumbai, Howrah, Shalimar, Bhubaneswar, Puri, Vijayawada, Silchar, Dibrugarh , New Tinsukia, Gaya, Banaras, Firozpur, Vishakapatnam , Hubli , Ahmedabad, Ekta Nagar(Vadodara) came to light that these trains don't have Tamil TBs sadly. I want to ask the respective train zones to add Tamil TBs. Same logic for other Railway zones as well to ask them like this.
Also I found no Kannada TBs for trains bound for Bengaluru/Mysuru originating from Eastern and North Eastern part of our country.

Yesterday for an instance, I found 12686 Mangaluru MAS SF earlier it had Kannada in their large TB but now replaced with Malayalam will cause so much confusion for an newbie traveller for Mangaluru, so I complained in Railmadad for this to take action to re introduce Kannada TB as Mangalore is part of Karnataka not Kerala although it is lying near the border.

I am not posted this post to create language politics here please understand. But at the same time, the concerned CDOs starting the train should have the knowledge of what language is being spoken at the destination of that given train. It will eliminate confusion among passengers and I felt Hindi and English weren't spoken uniformly all over the country. Kind request, while replying, please don't do all types of language politics here, I am asking for the basic rights and questions here.

How to ask them? Or we should file RTI etc? Kindly help as soon as possible 🙏

IMO, Railways should design the board consisting of English, Hindi, Source station language, Destination station language in main board. each coaches can have passing by stations language as per requirement, for example. chennai mumbai can have 3 to 4 coaches with Kannada and Telugu. Chennai kolkatta can have few odiya, Telugu. In this way diversity also maintained, representation also maintained. standard protocol also maintained. If Hindi is state language of source/destination then one language can be reduced. This should become politically a norms in railways.

TBs should be in 4 languages. English, Hindi and languages of the origin and destination station.
For eg. MAQ MAS SF should have English, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada. But a train from KOP to NZM can have just three English, Hindi and Marathi.
English and Hindi are necessary coz they are the most widely spoken and understood languages in India. But regional languages must be there.

Useful
Yes even SCR trains coming to Karnataka don't have a single Kannada board.
Leave train boards, even Unreserved counters across KA force us to speak in some unknown languages ! Also there are no Kannada announcements in few rural interior railway stations, but in some other language. See the injustice.
I have complained few times and will keep complaining when I come across such an incident.
