A delegation of Chhattisgarh Chamber of Commerce and Industries (CCCI) led by its district In-charge Mukesh Mittal handed over a memorandum to senior Railway Divisional Commercial Manager (DCM) here on Thursday for enhancing the passenger facilities at Kharsia Railway Station.
According to the memorandum, Kharsia is a major Station of Raigarh district which lacked all the basic facilities of a Station. The Station, it noted, did have adequate passenger flow and fare collection on account of the industries in the block.
The road connecting to the Railway Station, Mittal said was in dilapidated condition and the passengers faced immense problem to reach the Station. Even the Station, he regretted did not have round-the-clock water supply, ladies toilet among other things.
He urged the DCM to immediately appoint a reservation clerk at the Station, and halt of few Express trains, and provide parking space outside the Station forthwith.
The DCM after giving a patient hearing of the delegation, said, their demands would be forwarded to the senior officials for appropriate action.
The delegation also forwarded a copy of their memorandum to the Union Minister of State for Mines and Steel Vishnu Deo Sai for taking immediate action.
