Sirsa Station Gets Rs 3 Crore Infrastructure Boost
Sirsa Railway Station in Haryana is undergoing a major Rs 3 crore upgrade to improve passenger facilities and train movement.
The Sirsa Railway Station in Haryana is set for a massive makeover as Indian Railways rolls out a significant infrastructure expansion project. With an investment of Rs 3 crore, the upgrade aims to modernize the station, enhance passenger comfort, and streamline train traffic management.
New Third Platform and Expanded Tracks
A key highlight of this project is the construction of a third platform. To facilitate this, the existing platform number two is undergoing a complete reconfiguration. The upgrade includes:
- Increased Width: The platform width is being expanded from 10 meters to 14 meters to accommodate more commuters.
- New Rail Lines: New tracks will be laid on both sides of the platform, which will significantly improve the station's halting capacity and the efficiency of train movements.
This development follows the successful reconstruction of platform number one, marking a major step forward in the station's capacity building.
Enhanced Passenger Amenities
Beyond the technical track improvements, the Sirsa Railway Station upgrade focuses heavily on the traveler's experience. The project includes the installation of essential new amenities to ensure a smoother journey for passengers, such as:
- Additional modern toilet facilities.
- New water booths for easy access to drinking water.
Rapid Completion Timeline
The ongoing works, executed by the Railways' Gati Shakti Unit, are being fast-tracked. Officials have set a target to complete the entire project within 60 days.
This initiative is part of a larger modernization wave across Haryana. Other notable projects include the Rs 2.80 crore platform expansion at Kaithal railway station and the Rs 12 crore foot-overbridge construction at Palwal railway station, both being carried out under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.
