- The station management informed us that they identified the place for putting up pillars on the platforms. Work for the project was supposed to begin earlier this year but couldn’t due to the second wave of Covid-19.
- Currently, the A1 category station has two foot overbridges. The second one costing Rs 1.90 crore was inaugurated in October 2019.
