The Khurda Road Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Braja Mohan Agarwal visited the Brahmapur railway station and reviewed the construction works under going in the station on Saturday.
During the visit, Agarwal said the commuters would not face problems while taking their heavy languages from one platform to another as the escalator work would be completed by end of the current year. Similarly, by March 2018, the works of the foot over bridge and elevator would be completed.
He informed free Wi-Fi facilities would be available and CCTV cameras would be installed in the station.
Agarwal said plans are now afoot to construct toilets at Platform 3 and 4 as per the advice of the Brahmapur railway advisory committee. He too held discussions with BMC officials for building toilets outside the station.
On the occasion, commuters urged the DRM to open a new counter for platform tickets as they now wait for a long time at the ticker booking counter to have platform tickets.
They also demanded to take necessary steps against the cycle and motor-cycle stands outside the station as they are charging double fees. In response Agarwal assured that he would take appropriate steps soon.
Brahmapur station would be provided with all facilities that are available at the A1 grade stations, said Agarwal.
Divisional Commercial Manager Sambit Saurav Nayak, DSST Shankar Kutti, Engineer CB Nayak and DSTE PK Dash also accompanied.
Among others, Brahmapur Station Manager Manoj lakra was present.
