What new facilities will passengers get at Supaul Station?
The modernized station will have several advanced amenities to make travel easier. The railway is building improved waiting halls, better ticket counters, and a more efficient cleanliness system. To manage traffic, dedicated parking stands are being developed on both sides of the circulating area. Additionally, a new entry gate is being built from the Southern Hathkhola Road for better access.
How will Supaul become a Railway Junction?
