Bhubaneswar: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday laid the foundation stone of the much-awaited project for ‘Redevelopment of Bhubaneswar Railway Station’ for which over Rs 308 crore will be spent.
The redevelopment plan aims at renovating the Bhubaneswar station with world-class infrastructure and amenities. It is a key project being personally monitored by the Railway Minister.
A number of facilities have been developed and are under the process of development in this project. The Railways have laid importance on the development of the new building, air concourse, renovation of platforms, platform shelters, and circulating areas, the East Coast Railway (ECoR) informed.
Besides, the platform lighting, food court zone and shopping areas, waste management, waiting rooms, toilets, and elevators are also on the priority list for the proposed development of the Bhubaneswar station.
There will be the provision of well-designed service roads, vehicle parking, drains, signage, and dividers. The new building will have high standard dormitories and retiring rooms apart from the beautified circulating area, the ECoR stated.
Notably, Vashnaw has always stressed on early completion and execution of this project which entails a cost of Rs 308 crore and is expected to be completed in 2 years.
