HYDERABAD: The works on Cherlapally railway station will be completed by the end of 2023, South Central Railway (SCR) officials said on Saturday.
SCR general manager Arun Kumar Jain visited the station and took stock of the works as the station is slated to become the new alternate coaching terminal for the twin cities at the cost of 221 crore. In the current year, 82 crores has been allocated for the works.
Jain inspected the new under construction station building and also reviewed the progress of coach maintenance facilities and other infrastructural works.
“Cherlapally railway station will become the fourth major passenger terminal in the twin cities. The new terminal is being developed with modern facilities on par with airports,” he said.
He added that since the station also comes under MMTS phase – II project, several facilities are coming up as part of it as well. Construction of ‘all-weather covered shed’ for pit lines at Cherlapally has also been proposed and the same has been sent to the Railway Board for sanction.
Other infra works like widening of existing island platform, new platform along with new line for MMTS trains, two Cover-over-Platforms (COP) on new platforms and one COP on existing platform, extension of foot overbridge for new high-level platforms, water pedestals on both the new platforms and island platform, lighting arrangements on new and island platforms were also inspected.
