Problems persist in railway station.


In my earlier article i wrote proudly that railway authorities have promoted chittoor station to A class. But a recent visit to the station revealed the dark side of the reality. Some basic necessities are missing which are very annoying and creating a lot of trouble to the passengers.
A picture speaks better than 1000 words.So i have prepared an unique pictorial & descriptive presentation of just two problems for starters. Check them out in the above picture(click to enlarge).

Now what do you say. There are many other grievances which goes like this:

1. In spite of being a major station, the following trains are not provided halts in chittoor station viz: Yeshwanthpur-Howrah, Rameshwaram-Okha(For shirdi passengers) and Kanyakumari-Mumbai(one way)Express trains, though they pass through chittoor.

2. Cover over platform is still nonexistent on platforms 2/3. The long due works are just now started and are planned just for 32 meters. This should be extended to a length of 80 metres keeping future growth projections.

3. No coach indication - coach guidance facility is provided. It is very difficult to reach the exact coach without knowing where it stops. The trains stop only for a minute or two and people have to run for their respective coach within this time.

4. Long queues are seen at any time in front of reservation counter. This can be easily solved by providing atleast another counter.

5. The long standing demand of a chittoor-chennai train is also over due.

What is lacking is the proper representation of the problems to the railway authorities, and the apathy of guntakal division officials.

Now dear chittoreans, Do you feel concerned? Want to do something regarding this?. Then you can mail the problems to
