The North Western Railways (NWR) gave the Jaipur Junction, an airport-like makeover earlier in January. The station level was improved to airport standard with increased Illumination and lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High quality and energy efficient LED lights were installed\nat various points at the station including lifts, escalators, waiting halls and\nall the major places.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A press release was published by NWR in which the Railway\nBoard directed that 35 stations including Jaipur station have to be upgraded\ntill February 28, 2019. However, Jaipur station managed to complete the work\nmuch before the deadline. Out of the 35 stations selected by the Railway Board,\nJaipur and Ajmer station were chosen from North Western Railway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The railway board selected the stations for airport-like\nrenovation on the basis of some features that railway junction should have,\nincluding concourse hall, circulating area, waiting room, platform, reservation\noffice, inquiry office, foot-over-bridge, parking, escalators, lifts, and\nbetter lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the officials, the upgradation is part of the\nIndian Railway’s Rs 1 lakh crore station redevelopment programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beautified features at Jaipur junction include improved\nlifts and escalators, redesigned waiting rooms, concourse halls and renovated\nplatforms. The lighting and illumination have been given a major improvement\nwith the installation of energy efficient LED lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision by railways was taken to enhance the passengers\u2019\nexperience at railway stations and to increase tourist\u2019s attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleven stations under Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) have\nbeen upgraded to airport-like standard. Several railway stations from each\nrailway division were chosen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
