HYDERABAD: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay foundation for the development of 21 railway stations in Telangana under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme on August 6, 2023. The scheme envisages ease of passenger movement, convenience, and integration of the stations with the surrounding area including the look and feel of various passenger amenities.
While the Railways recognised 39 stations in Telangana, 21 stations were shortlisted for immediate development at a cost of Rs 894 crore. These 21 stations will be completely refurbished with huge waiting halls, restrooms, lifts, escalators, free wifi, one station one product shops to promote local products, information kiosks, executive lounges, gardens, and conference halls.
The proposed works include linkages with the areas located on either side of the stations. The stations will be made differently able friendly with sustainable and environment-friendly construction with roof plazas, and concrete walkways leaving enough space for future consumption.
