Pune railway station to get a passenger-friendly makeover

Railway passengers are likely to get better facilities as the Pune railway station will be undergoing a makeover soon.
On Monday, Chalavadi Narayanswami, chairman of Passenger Amenities Committee, Railway Board visited the Pune railway station and inspected the basic amenities that are provided to the passengers.

Narayanswami asked to increase the number of food counters at the station. “There have been many complaints regarding the excess charge and poor food quality that is supplied in the pantry car. We will be conducting sample checks and ensure that rate cards are made available.”

Cleanliness at the railway station will also be maintained. Besides, water filter for clean drinking water and additional benches on the platforms is also being contemplated.

“The main objective is to make the railway station more passenger friendly. We have decided to increase the benches from the present 895 to 2,000 from platform number two to six. Besides we are planning to open a separate ticket window for female customers.”

Passengers can also call on the toll free number and register their complaints or give suggestions for better service.
