Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that these upgrades would transform the stations with state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring a better travel experience. The project is part of the Indian Railways' larger goal to modernise 1,275 stations nationwide, with a specific focus on enhancing passenger amenities and infrastructure.

This initiative aligns with the Indian government's vision to boost connectivity and promote regional development. By upgrading these stations, the government aims to support local economies, enhance tourism potential, and provide a seamless travel experience for passengers.

The announcement underscores the government's commitment to investing in infrastructure that meets global standards, reflecting the broader agenda of economic development and modernisation.
