| railenquiry | Easy ride at railway station August date for two escalators on : April 17, 2013 - 12:00:42 PM |
|
Walking in and out of the platforms of Bhubaneswar railway station will become effortless shortly with the East Coast Railway authorities finishing work on one of two proposed escalators.The station, which falls in the A1 category of Indian Railways, will be the first in the state to have escalators.Sources in the East Coast Railway (ECoR) said technical tests of the facility on platform No. 1 had been completed and the link between the escalator and foot overbridge was nearly complete.However, the facility would be opened to the public only after a similar escalator was built on platform No. 4. Its construction is yet to begin. So, passengers will have to wait at least till August to use the travelling staircase and make their way around.Chief public relations officer of ECoR R.N. Mohapatra said: “The ECoR has been trying its best to provide modern facilities to passengers. Both the escalators and a VIP lounge will be thrown open to the public in August.”The ECoR had decided to build the two escalators at the railway station at an estimated cost of Rs 1 crore. This is part of the railway’s Rs 205-crore plan to upgrade the Bhubaneswar railway station.The facility will considerably help senior citizens, disabled passengers and those carrying heavy luggage who find it difficult to climb up and down the steps of the foot overbridge to catch a train.“The escalators will be helpful as most of the time we have to rush up and down the foot overbridges, pushing through crowds. The escalators will enable us to reach the foot overbridges directly,” said Deepak Mohanty, a passenger. |
