The Nalgonda railway station is getting the much-needed face-lift with the main building and its environs receiving a fresh coat of paint, setting up of steel railings at the ticket counters and the main approach road being re-laid.
The metal cover of the platforms no.1 and 2 is being replaced, as it is broken at several places.
The repair work, started a week back, is expected to cost Rs.50 lakh.
It is likely to be completed in time for inspection by a top railway official in the second week of the New Year, according to B. Pitchaiah Naik, Nalgonda Station Manager.
The improvements being effected are a follow-up of measure suggested by officials, including A. Mathur, Divisional Railway Manager, Guntur.
After a recent inspection of the station, he had suggested relaying of the park opposite the station building, repair of the platforms, better water and lavatory facilities for the benefit of travelling public.
Nalgonda Railway AE told ‘The Hindu' that 12 stations between Pagidipalli and Nadikudi sections of the South Central Railway were being given a better look by carrying out repair works.
