PM Modi can inaugurate Gomtinagar station
The wait for Gomtinagar Railway Station, whose foundation stone was laid by Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee, to become world class, is about to end after about six years. The station will be handed over to the North Eastern Railway Administration by 15th February. After this, preparations are being made to inaugurate the station by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM Modi is going to come to the capital for the ground breaking ceremony 2024. According to the information, Gomtinagar Railway Station can also be inaugurated by him on this occasion. However, North Eastern Railway officials are still avoiding saying anything clear on this matter. Let us tell you that Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee had laid the foundation of Gomtinagar station for the convenience of the people living in the colonies across Gomti. From a halt for two passenger trains, a station with five platforms was built. After this, in the year 2018, Railway Land Development Authority RLD got the responsibility of developing the station for about Rs 385 crore. RLDA built a commercial block on Vibhutikhand side and gave it on lease. Gomtinagar station was also built with the income from this. The construction of the station is spread over an area of 10 acres. Facilities of air concourse, waiting room, cafeteria and lounge are also provided. 14 lifts and 13 escalators have been installed at the new terminal. The station building will glow with solar power. RLDA has also developed two commercial blocks in an area of four lakh square feet at Gomtinagar station.
