Taraori railway station celebrated the 80th Independence Day with great patriotic fervor as officials and local commuters gathered to honor the nation. The event was led by Station Superintendent K.K. Singh and Rail Yatri Welfare Association President Ramesh Gupta, who hoisted the national flag amidst the singing of the national anthem.
Key highlights from the event include:
- Celebration of the 80th Independence Day at Taraori railway station.
- Flag hoisting ceremony attended by railway officials and association members.
- Formal demand submitted for the restoration of the Dadar Express halt.
- Request for the installation of CCTV cameras and an RPF post to enhance station security.
Focus on Passenger Amenities and Connectivity
During the ceremony, Association President Ramesh Gupta emphasized the importance of preserving the nation’s freedom and unity. However, the celebration also served as a platform to highlight pending infrastructural needs. Gupta, along with inspector Rajiv Thakur, noted that while most major passenger amenities at the station have been completed, the restoration of the Dadar Express halt remains a critical requirement for local commuters. The association has formally requested MLA Bhagwandas Kabirpanthi to take up this matter with senior railway officials to ensure the train stops at Taraori once again.
Strengthening Station Security
Beyond connectivity, the Rail Yatri Welfare Association has urged the railway administration to prioritize security upgrades. Specifically, they have demanded the installation of CCTV cameras and the establishment of a dedicated RPF post at the station premises. According to the association, these measures are essential to maintain a safe environment and prevent any untoward incidents at the station.
The event saw the presence of several notable figures including Station Master Balinger Singh, Malkit Singh, Mohit Kumar, and various members of the Rail Yatri Welfare Association, including Naresh Mittal, Charandev Kamra, and Vijay Singla, among others. The collective effort reflects the growing public demand for improved services and safety standards at the Taraori railway station.
