00:00We are sitting with the senior DCM of Raipur Rail Mandal, Mr. Audesh Kumar Trivedi.

00:04We would like to know from him, how many stations are to be expanded under Amrit Bharat Station?

00:10What kind of changes will be brought so that the passengers will get a lot of facilities?

00:14First of all, sir, you are welcome to India.

00:18Sir, apart from Raipur Railway Station, how many railway stations are to be expanded in Raipur Rail Mandal?

00:26What kind of work is going on?

00:28In Raipur Railway Station, there are two major stations where we are working.

00:38One is Raipur and the other is Durga.

00:41This is the station where the footfall of the people is the highest.

00:46On an average, around 70,000 people come to Raipur every day.

00:50And in Durga, the footfall is around 35,000 to 40,000.

00:54These two are coming under the category of major station development.

00:57Apart from that, there are 15 other stations, which are smaller.

01:01Smaller stations like NSE 2, NSE 3, NSE 4, NSE 5 and even NSE 6.

01:08These are also based on footfall.

01:12Plus, some such stations have also been included in this.

01:16Where the footfall is not very high today.

01:19But in the future, since the pressure on Raipur station is increasing,

01:23we have also included Urkura and Sarona as satellite stations.

01:29Where there is no footfall at present, but we have faith and anticipation.

01:34And when we coordinate with the municipal, district and state governments,

01:40then yes, there will be development in these places and the pressure on the passengers will increase.

01:46That is why we have also included Urkura and Sarona in it.

01:49Apart from that, our branch line, which comes from Marudha to Dalli Rajara,

01:54has stations like Balot, Bhanu Pratapur and Dalli Rajara.

01:58We have also tried to provide better facilities there.

02:03In these 15 stations, which are called Amrit Bharat, ABSS,

02:08the main facilities are, first of all, the expansion of platforms, shelters and platforms.

02:16The ticketing system has been made modern.

02:20Apart from that, the concourse area where people can come and wait,

02:25the entry and exit points have been made wider.

02:28So that in the future, the other passengers or passengers who come to travel in these stations,

02:35they do not have to face any kind of inconvenience.

02:39In addition, the toilets and lavatories are also being made in a better way.

02:45They are being expanded.

02:47There will be a better arrangement for cleanliness.

02:50Apart from this, the waiting areas, such as our AC waiting hall,

02:56the general waiting halls for the general public,

02:59they are also being expanded and beautified.

03:03In addition to this, there are many other facilities.

03:06For example, in some stations,

03:08we can say that a special area where the child can be fed,

03:16or other such facilities, plus canteen facilities,

03:21or we can have better stalls.

03:24Sir, these two major stations, Durg and Raipur,

03:28what will be left in these major stations?

03:30What changes will be seen?

03:32Look, these two major stations, Raipur and Durg,

03:36the first thing is that both sides of the station,

03:41like if we talk about Raipur station, then the front side as well as the Gudiya side,

03:45both the stations are being developed on both sides,

03:49where all the facilities will be there.

03:51Parking, multi-level parking will be there.

03:53Apart from that, the reservation counters will also be made at both ends.

03:59In addition to this, the station will be developed as a better city center,

04:05so that if people travel 200-300 km or 500 km from different places,

04:11then if they want, they can come to the station perimeter.

04:14Some lounges and rooms are also being built here.

04:19Apart from this, conference halls are also being built here.

04:22If there are some businessmen,

04:24or there are many people who need some space for meetings,

04:27a meeting space is being created,

04:29so that people can come to a station,

04:31talk about their business, or have a meeting,

04:34and can go back from here.

04:36Along with this, better health facilities,

04:38security facilities, parcel facilities,

04:40plus escalators, facilities for people with disabilities.

04:44Apart from that, the FOVs are also being expanded,

04:50so that people can come and go through FOVs,

04:53and seamless travel,

04:54so that people don't have any difficulty in carrying their luggage.

05:02Sir, apart from Amrit Bharat station, there are two major stations,

05:05and 15 more stations that need to be expanded.

05:09So, how much money is being spent?

05:13See, first of all, Amrit Bharat station is different,

05:16and major station development is different.

05:18In major station development, there is Raipur and Durga.

05:20In Amrit Bharat, there are 15 other stations.

05:23In major station development, Raipur and Durga,

05:25there are about 400 to 450 crore rupees in different projects.

05:30In Raipur, there is about 450 crores, and in Durga,

05:32there is about 450 crores.

05:35Major station development is planned to be completed in 3 years.

05:42Work has started at Raipur station,

05:44parking has been shifted.

05:46Apart from that,

05:47some of the old houses of our railway staff,

05:53which could have obstructed the expansion of the station,

05:58have been demolished and replaced.

06:03Apart from that, the old trees have not been cut,

06:09but have been transferred from one place to another.

06:14So that environmental concerns can be addressed.

06:20Another important thing is that,

06:22during this entire process,

06:24when we talk about major station development,

06:26we also have an air quality control unit set up,

06:32so that the surrounding environment is polluted.

06:39Sir, how long will major stations like Raipur and Durga be built?

06:43And how much money will be allocated for the expansion of 15 railway stations?

06:49See, I told you in the beginning,

06:513 years for 1095 days.

06:53A deadline of 3 years has been set for both Raipur and Durga.

06:57In the 15 stations of Amrit Bharat,

07:00one station has already been built.

07:03It is almost ready,

07:05and we are going to inaugurate it very soon.

07:09Along with that, Urkura and Bhanupratapur,

07:12this is also a possibility.

07:14It will be ready in a month or so,

07:16and we will be able to submit it to the state or the public.

07:19The goal for all 15 stations,

07:22will be achieved by the middle of July.

07:28Sir, one last question.

07:30Will the development of Raipur,

07:32which is a major station,

07:34be developed on the airport level?

07:36See, why are you considering the airport as a standard?

07:39We say that it will be better than the airport.

07:41Because the people who come to the airport,

07:44and the system of the airport,

07:47it caters to a different crowd.

07:52And the railway station caters to a different crowd.

07:55So, both cannot be the same.

07:57But yes, the expectations of the people,

08:00is that it should be smooth, hassle-free,

08:03and they should get the experience of the journey.

08:06All such efforts will be made.

08:08He was with us,

08:10the senior DCM of Raipur Rail Mandal,

08:12Mr. Audesh Trivedi.

08:13He said that a lot of work is going on.

08:15And by June or July 2025,

08:18the 15 stations,

08:20which are to be built under Amrit Bharat Station,

08:22will be completed.

08:24At the same time, the work of Raipur and Durg railway stations,

08:27has also begun.

08:29The facilities like the airport,

08:31will also be available to the passengers.
