It has been Railways’ endeavour to redevelop/develop railway stations to provide an enhanced and richer experience to the passengers. About 600 stations have been indentified for this purpose across Indian Railway, which will be assigned to Indian Railway Station Development Corporation Limited (IRSDC) shortly. However, as a parallel measure, it has been decided to develop about 70 stations through Zonal Railways separately including 5 stations of N.F. Railway - Katihar, Lumding, Tinsukia, Alipurduar & Rangiya. The emphasis will be on having a visible change in the station without unnecessary construction all over. Divisional Railway Managers have been directed to appoint Architectural consultant for preparation of overall architectural plan. They may also take feedback and ideas from local stakeholders. These works on the identified stations will be completed by December, 2018 and the scope/quantum of work will be planned keeping the target in mind.
