Today's Cancelled Trains
Mathura (MTJ): BJP MP Hema Malini today said that she wants Mathura railway station to be developed in such a way that it reflects birthplace of Lord Krishna.
“Mathura railway station should be a blend of heritage look with modernisation like escalator and better waiting rooms for general class passengers. Instead of taking rest on the ground, the passengers in general waiting rooms should be provided benches,” Malini said.
“Mathura station must be developed in such a way that it reflects birthplace of Lord Krishna,” she added.
She was here to inaugurate third entry systems with ticket booking facility at Mathura station.
Stressing on the need to make the station neat and clean, she appealed to the passengers not to spit on the pillars.
Appreciating the catering system, the MP said that for other facilities she would discuss with the Railway Minister.
The MP suggested that more coaches should be added to trains running between Mathura and Vrindavan.
Agra’s Divisional Railway Manager Prabhash Kumar said that he will try to get funds from MPLAD for giving heritage look to Mathura station.
“I will try to get amount from Member of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD) fund for giving heritage look to Mathura station,” Kumar said.
“For maintaining cleanliness at Mathura station, washing apron system of boulders is in operation,” he said.
He refuted the charge of mass cancellation of tickets owing to Gujjar agitation.
“While most of the trains are commuting on Agra-Bina-Nagda route, few are passing through Bandikui and Jaipur,” he said.
He informed that the work of 113 rail underbridges and overbridges in Agra division has been given green signal by the Ministry of Railways.
Clearance has also been received for connecting circulating area with platform number 2 and 4, the DRM said.
