Bhubaneswar: Passenger Reservation System (PRS) and Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) counters have been shifted to newly-built ground-level departure concourse at Bhubaneswar railway station on a temporary basis.
These were previously functioning from a temporary shed. “This arrangement ensures uninterrupted availability of ticketing services while allowing construction work, which is part of the ongoing redevelopment of Bhubaneswar railway station under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, at the shed site to proceed smoothly,” the East Coast Railway said in a release on Tuesday.
The release further stated that the relocated PRS/UTS and enquiry counters will offer more space and ease of movement for passengers. “To further ease passenger movement, a newly-constructed approach road from the Town Bus Stand/Temple side has been opened, enabling better connectivity and hassle-free access to the station,” it said.
A major milestone in this redevelopment effort is the opening of direct access to Platform No. 1 through a newly-built ground-level departure concourse, which is expected to reduce congestion and improve passenger flow significantly, it added.
