The old building of Bettiah Railway Station will soon be removed as part of a major modernization project. The station is being developed to have an airport-like appearance and world-class facilities. The Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) of Samastipur Division is scheduled to inspect the site on May 22, and preparations are currently underway on a war footing.
What are the key features of the new Bettiah Station?
The station will be developed based on the design of the old Sheesh Mahal of Bettiah Raj. The project includes several modern amenities to improve the passenger experience:
- Modern waiting halls and digital displays
- Escalators and airport-style parking systems
- A shopping mall for regional products and a cinema hall
- Two entry and exit gates, including a proposed entrance towards Banuchapar
Project cost and administrative updates
The budget for this redevelopment project was significantly increased from 18 crore rupees to 54 crore rupees due to the efforts of MP Dr. Sanjay Jaiswal. While new platforms and ticket counters are nearly ready, the complete demolition of the old structure was delayed because some offices had not yet shifted. Station officials stated that shifting will happen following instructions from higher authorities.
