Mangalore Junction Railway Station to Get a Makeover: This is What is Needed

Mangalore Junction Railway Station will get a makeover under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme (ABSS) at an estimated cost of ₹10.5 crore even as Southern Railway’s Palakkad Division commenced parking area improvement work as part of the scheme. Mangalore Junction  is one of the 90 stations under Southern Railway and 15 under Palakkad Division identified for improvement under ABSS. Southern Railway CPRO B. Guganesan in a statement said the zone was sanctioned ₹934 crore by the Railway Ministry under the scheme, in which Palakkad Division gets ₹195.54 crore. As many as 26 works would be executed in 15 stations.

Letter of Acceptance for the lowest bidder was issued on June 14 while the contractor commenced the parking area improvement work. It involves expanding the parking area in front of the station, providing parking infrastructure, and other related works.
