Modern stations with heritage touch - what a brilliant concept! But I hope they maintain cleanliness and facilities properly. Our railway stations should be world-class, not just at inauguration time.

As someone who frequently travels between Rajasthan and Mumbai, this is excellent news! The 26,000 crore investment shows commitment to infrastructure. Hope they focus on punctuality too - that's equally important.

Good to see railway electrification progressing well. Clean energy in transport is the need of the hour. But what about improving last-mile connectivity from these stations? That's where many passengers face problems.

Karni Mata Temple visit shows our PM respects local traditions while bringing development. The station redevelopment covers so many states - Maharashtra, UP, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat. Truly national progress!

Hope these new facilities include proper women's safety measures and clean toilets. That would make train travel much more comfortable for families and solo women travelers. The Divyangjan amenities are much appreciated though!
