Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address from the national ceremony of Amrit Bharat Station Scheme was broadcast virtually. Addressing the program, Union Minister of State and Gurugram MP Rao Inderjit Singh said that for the last 10 years, new momentum is being given to the development of Railways under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It was a practice in the previous governments that the maximum budget of the Railways was spent in the area of the Railway Minister or his states, due to which states like Haryana remained untouched. He said that by changing this thinking, the Prime Minister has equally taken forward the development of railways in the country. Today, work on railway projects worth Rs 20 thousand crores is going on in Haryana. Haryana state has also received a gift of Rs 2750 crore for railway development in the temporary budget of the Central Government.
On this occasion, former MLA Bimla Chaudhary, former Mayor Madhu Azad, Railway Advisory Committee member Dr. DP Goyal, Railway Member (Revenue) Praveen Kumar, Member (BD) RK Kashyap, Chief Project Manager DK Singh, Railway Station Superintendent Shankar Lal. People from the surrounding areas including Meena, Senior DGM Paras Chandra, Joint Commissioner of Municipal Corporation Gurugram Akhilesh Yadav were present.

In this project, external development of the station will also be done including easy access and departure on the road, pick and drop point, canopy, green space. The new eight-storey building will have various facilities for passengers in a state-of-the-art hall on one floor. Four floors will be used commercially and will have facilities like a cafeteria.
