The Indian government is planning to spend Rs 5,000 crore in a bid to revamp ten railway stations with airport-like facilities by 2020.
This project to redevelop the stations will be carried out under a self-reliant model through land monetisation by the state-run NBCC. The selected stations for the project are -- Delhi Sarai Rohilla, Lucknow, Gomti Nagar, Kota, Tirupati, Nellore, Ernakulam, Puducherry, Madgaon and Thane, the Economic Times reported.
"The redevelopment work will start at a few stations by December-end or early next year. The concept designs are already being worked out," said NBCC chairman A K Mittal.
"We're targeting completion in two to two-and-a-half years. The monetisation would be done through commercial exploitation of land that the Indian Railways provides," he added.
Initially NBCC will start by redeveloping the core infrastructure like platform, lounges, ticketing counters, parking and other facilities. Besides this, it will also build separate arrival and departure terminals on the lines of airports.
Earlier this year, reports also suggested that passengers will have the option of travelling in a new class -- 'Economy AC coaches' with fares less than normal 3rd AC tariff. Such coaches will also have automatic doors.
The decisions to revamp the Indian Railways comes after the World Bank earlier this year planned to invest Rs 5 lakh crore to transform the 164-year old network and making it a key contributor to the country's economic growth.
Reports also suggest that the bank will also provide advisory services and programme management consultancy for this transformation exercise that is projected to take two to three years.
Last month, the Indian Railways has also sent out a global tender to get seven lakh metric tonne of rails for revamping old tracks to ensure safety after several accidents in the recent past.
However, according to a study by the government think tank NITI Aayog, since 2012, six of every 10 rail accidents in India have happened because of mistakes by or the negligence of the railway staff.
To ensure top-grade safety of the passengers and goods, major railway stations would have access control system at par with security arrangements seen at airports across the country.
The railway stations would be closed from all the sides and would have access only through security channels to minimise the risk of unauthorised access to platforms and trains. The scanning gadgets installed at the entry points would be upgraded and a team of highly trained RPF commandos will be deployed at the key points on important railway stations.
The government has already sanctioned Rs 114.18 crore for the task which covers the entire periphery of the railway stations where the security access control system would be installed. Security walls would be built around important stations measuring almost 3,000 km.
Talking to IANS, the DG Railway Protection Force (RPF) Arun Kumar said security is his top priority. "Even major railway stations are not adequately covered from security point of view. There are multiple entry and exit points at busy stations. Most of these stations are almost open from all sides inviting unauthorised access. So, we are planning to control the entry and exit points with a view to minimising unauthorised access," the DG added.
If intelligence inputs and security advisories are taken into consideration, the railway stations have always been a soft target for the militants, who gain easy access to crowded platforms. Some important stations in the country have been targeted earlier by terror outfits including railway stations at Mumbai, Delhi, Varanasi, Lucknow and Guwahati. The country has been also witness to serial bombings in running passenger trains. Huge thefts at yards also result in heavy revenue losses for the government-run railways.
