In a significant boost to the face of transportation facilities in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the country’s first world-class model railway station at Habibganj in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal on November 15. Enabled with facilities equivalent to an international airport, the station has been constructed at the cost of a whopping 450 crore.
The railway station has been developed under a public-private partnership model (PPP) by the Railways Station Development Authority and a private company – Bansal Group.
Reconstructed on the lines of Germany’s Heidelberg railway, the facility will have all modern amenities like lounges, ATMs, moving walkways, lifts, and escalators to reach the platform, for the relief of passengers. Allowing a footfall of 700 to 1,100 passengers, a seating arrangement has been made in the open course. Display boards have been installed showing information about the movement of trains in different languages throughout the station.
