As someone who visited India last year, the state of some railway stations was a shock. This scheme sounds like a massive step in the right direction. Clean restrooms and lifts are basic dignities that every traveler deserves. Hope this standard is maintained.

Good work, but the real test is sustainability. Will the lifts work after 6 months? Will the cleanliness last? We have a habit of building new things but not maintaining them. I hope the railway staff and the public both take ownership. Fingers crossed! 🤞

This is a welcome change. My elderly parents use this station, and the new lifts and foot overbridge will make their journey so much easier and safer. Small towns and cities deserve this kind of infrastructure development too, not just the metros. More power to the Amrit Bharat scheme!

Impressive scale - 1300 stations! That's nation-building. If executed well across the board, it will transform the travel experience for millions of Indians daily. The economic ripple effects from improved logistics and passenger comfort could be significant.

Finally! A clean waiting room and hygienic toilets are not a luxury, they are a necessity. So happy for the daily commuters. Hope my hometown station in Bihar is next on the list. Our railways are getting a much-needed facelift. 🙏
