As a part of the inauguration of 103 Amrit Bharat stations nationwide, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually inaugurate the redeveloped Begumpet railway station on Thursday. The Karimnagar and Warangal railway stations in Telangana will also be opened to the public.
The Begumpet railway station has been redeveloped into a modern transit hub, reflecting the rich heritage of Telangana under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme at an estimated cost of 26 crore 55 lakh rupees.
As per the South-Central Railway (SCR) officials, the facelift includes a host of passenger-friendly features like escalators, lifts, spacious waiting halls, modern toilets, and dedicated facilities for differently-abled commuters. Telangana’s State bird, the Indian Roller, has been installed as a symbolic centrepiece.
The station now boasts illuminated lighting, landscaped greenery, water features, and marked signage, which have been designed to enhance the overall commuting experience as per the SCR Chief Public Relations Officer, A Sridhar.
Besides, the Begumpet Railway Station will be operated entirely by women staff, from the station master to the ticket clerks and RPF constables, and booking staff. A dedicated surveillance system ensures enhanced safety for female passengers.
Serving over 15 thousand passengers daily, Begumpet is known to be one of the busiest suburban stations in Hyderabad after Secunderabad, Hyderabad and Kacheguda.
