Ayodhya railway station to get major upgrade

With the Uttar Pradesh Government’s project to develop Ayodhya as a major tourist destination, Indian Railways is re-developing the holy town’s railway station to cater to 0.1 mn passengers per day. The station will be developed in two phases; the first phase is expected to be completed by September and will include a two-storey building, mela shed, circulating area, two foot bridges, dormitory, sick rooms, escalators, elevator, food court, air-conditioned retiring room, LED billboards, furnished quarters of railway staff and other facilities. In the second phase, the Railways will develop a waiting and parking area for pilgrims in the southern part of station after acquiring land from the state government.
