Amrit Bharat Scheme: Slow progress at Garhmukteshwar station and new updates for Hapur Junction
Passengers at Garhmukteshwar Railway Station in Hapur district are facing difficulties due to the slow pace of beautification work. While the project started in 2023 under the Amrit Bharat scheme, the construction has slowed down recently. This has led to a lack of basic facilities like fans and sheds during the heat, while construction debris blocks the platforms.
