Gamharia Station: Passengers Demand Bihar-Bound Trains & Lifts
Passengers at Gamharia station demand more train halts to Bihar and better facilities like lifts and escalators at the new foot-over-bridge.
During a recent 'Rail Jan Samvad' (Railway Public Dialogue) event held at the Gamharia railway station in Adityapur, local commuters formally voiced several critical demands regarding connectivity and station infrastructure. The session allowed passengers to directly communicate their needs to railway officials.
Demand for Enhanced Bihar Connectivity
A primary concern raised by the attendees was the urgent need for new train halts at Gamharia station. Passengers emphasized that increasing the number of stops, particularly for trains traveling toward Bihar, would significantly improve travel ease and regional connectivity for the local population.
Infrastructure Challenges and Modern Amenities
In addition to connectivity issues, the dialogue highlighted persistent infrastructure problems that affect daily commuters. Passengers pointed out the ongoing issue of waterlogging within the railway underpass, which creates significant difficulties for travelers.
Furthermore, as the construction of a new 12-meter-wide foot-over-bridge (FOB) progresses, commuters requested that the facility be equipped with modern amenities. Specifically, there is a strong demand for the installation of lifts and escalators to ensure the station is accessible and convenient for all passengers.
Official Response and Next Steps
Railway officials addressed the infrastructure concerns by confirming that the design for the new foot-over-bridge will indeed include a lift to assist passengers.
Regarding the requests for additional train halts, the authorities assured the public that all feedback would be carefully evaluated. A formal proposal incorporating these passenger requirements will be prepared and forwarded to the higher administration for consideration.
