A very big and good news is coming for the railway passengers of Jharkhand and the people of Seraikela-Kharsawan district. The picture of the historical Kandra Junction under Chakradharpur Railway Division is going to change completely very soon. Under the modernization campaign of Indian Railways, preparations have started to develop this station in a new and grand form. To take stock of the ground reality of this mega project and the ongoing development works, the DRM of Chakradharpur Railway Division himself reached Kandra Junction with his entire technical team. After this surprise inspection of DRM, there has been a stir among the railway officers and employees to speed up the work.
DRM arrived by special train and inspected every corner closely.
According to the information received, DRM of Chakradharpur Railway Division reached Kandra Junction in his special inspection train. As soon as he landed at the station, he first saw the condition of platform numbers one and two. After this he did a thorough inspection of the station building, VIP lounge, ticket booking counter, circulating area and passenger waiting room. DRM discussed in detail about the changes and new designs in the coming days through maps with the engineers and senior officials of the construction department present on the spot. Expressing partial displeasure over the slow pace of the ongoing development works, he gave strict instructions to complete the work within the time limit.
From foot over bridge to escalator, these modern facilities will be available at Kandra Junction
Under the redevelopment plan of Kandra Junction, many major changes are being made here for the convenience and safety of passengers. A new and wide Foot Over Bridge (FOB) is being built at the station, which will make it easier for passengers to move from one platform to another. Along with this, the plan to install lifts and escalators (automatic stairs) for the convenience of elderly and disabled passengers has also been given the green signal. To enhance the beauty of the station premises, attractive lighting, modern toilets, new booths for pure drinking water and better seating arrangements are being made. The circulating area outside the station will also be widened so that there is no problem in parking and movement of vehicles.
Security and signaling system will also be completely upgraded
During his visit, DRM paid special attention not only to passenger facilities but also to the safe operation and security arrangements of trains. He inspected the signaling room and relay room of Kandra Junction and asked the technical officers to always remain alert. The network of CCTV cameras is being strengthened to keep an eye on anti-social elements in the station premises and ensure the safety of passengers. Apart from this, work related to increasing the length of the platform and maintenance of tracks was also reviewed, so that the way for stoppage of more express and passenger trains here in future could be cleared.
Kandra Junction is the lifeline for the industrial sector, development will give impetus to business.
Let us tell you that Kandra Junction is not just a railway station, but it is considered a major lifeline for the surrounding large industrial areas. Thousands of labourers, employees and businessmen travel from here every day to different parts of the society. The rejuvenation of the station will not only make the journey of common passengers comfortable and pleasant, but will also give a new impetus to the economic and business development of the area. DRM has instructed the local railway authorities that during the construction work, there should not be any problem for the common passengers and no compromise with the quality of work will be tolerated.
