The redevelopment, which will cost Rs. 24,470 crore, will provide modern passenger amenities along with ensuring well-designed traffic circulation, inter-modal integration, and well-designed signage for the guidance of passengers, the PMO had said in a statement, adding that the design of the station buildings will be inspired by local culture, heritage, and architecture.
Noting that Modi has often laid stress on the provision of state-of-the-art public transport and that railways are the preferred mode of transport for people, the PMO had said he has prioritized the importance of providing world-class amenities at railway stations.
Guided by this vision, the “Amrit Bharat Station Scheme’ was launched to redevelop 1,309 stations, it said. As part of this scheme, the foundation stone for the redevelopment of 508 stations was laid by the Prime Minster. (Hydnow)
