The Rail Yatri Welfare Association at Taraori railway station recently celebrated the 80th Independence Day with patriotic fervor while simultaneously highlighting critical infrastructure and operational needs for the station. The event, led by Station Superintendent K.K. Singh and Association President Ramesh Gupta, served as a platform to reiterate the community’s demands for better rail connectivity and passenger safety.
- Dadar Express Halt: The association is actively seeking the restoration of a scheduled stop for the Dadar Express at Taraori station.
- Enhanced Security: There is a formal demand for the installation of CCTV cameras and the establishment of a dedicated RPF (Railway Protection Force) post.
- Community Engagement: The Independence Day event saw active participation from local railway officials and welfare members to promote station development.
Push for Better Connectivity
During the Independence Day celebrations, Association President Ramesh Gupta and inspector Rajiv Thakur emphasized that while many passenger amenities at Taraori station have been successfully completed, the long-pending demand for a Dadar Express halt remains a top priority. The association has formally requested local MLA Bhagwandas Kabirpanthi to intervene and take up the matter with higher railway authorities to ensure that commuters in the region gain better access to this essential train service.
Focus on Passenger Safety
Beyond connectivity, the association has raised significant concerns regarding station security. Ramesh Gupta stated that the installation of CCTV surveillance systems and the creation of a permanent RPF post are vital for the station’s future. These measures are intended to strengthen the overall security framework, deter criminal activities, and ensure a safer environment for passengers traveling through the station. The local railway community remains hopeful that these infrastructure upgrades will be addressed promptly by the Railway Ministry to enhance the overall passenger experience at Taraori.
