Amrit Bharat Station Scheme: Old buildings of Sultanpur Railway Station to be demolished next month
The redevelopment of Sultanpur Railway Station under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme is gaining speed. Railway authorities have decided to demolish old station buildings by the first week of July to make way for modern infrastructure. This move will clear space for a new station layout and improve overall passenger movement.
Which buildings will be demolished and why?
The demolition will cover buildings within an 80-meter radius in the first phase. This includes the running room, signal section, parcel building, CMI office, and the Station Superintendent’s office. Gorja Construction Company from Haryana, which holds the tender for Sultanpur and Lambhua stations, will oversee the work. Removing these structures, including the Union and Northern Railway Mess buildings, is necessary to build the new station house.
What new facilities will passengers get?
The upgraded station will focus on modern amenities and better traffic management to end the frequent jams outside the station. The project includes several high-tech upgrades:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Building Structure | Portico with first and second floors |
| Connectivity | 12-meter wide Foot Over Bridge (FOB) |
| Accessibility | Lifts and escalators from Platform 1 to 4 |
| Technology | Wi-Fi facilities and modern lighting |
| Special Needs | Dedicated provisions for Divyang passengers |
| Sanitation | Modernized toilet blocks |
When will the project be completed?
Railway officials stated that the full range of facilities will be available for passengers by December 2026. The redevelopment is part of a larger initiative started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September 2023 to upgrade 508 stations across India. For the Sultanpur and Lambhua redevelopment, a total budget of 36.85 crore rupees has been approved, with over 19 crore rupees being invested specifically in Sultanpur.
