Friends,
As you know earlier, our CHITTOOR station has been an A class staion since 2 yrs with annual earning more than 6 crores. But the facilities were not up to the name.
I continuosly pestered railway authorities reg this thru emails, letters and SMS. Here are some of the responses from railways i got and I would like to share with u.
1. Regular passengers using our rs might have observed that station name boards are absolutely not present on the platforms except at platform ends. So I wrote to railways and got the reply
| Complaint: Sir, the station name indication boards are non existent on platforms in chittoor(cto) station. It is becoming very difficult for identifying station in the night from inside train.pls provide them at the earliest. |

So by nov 2010 our station will have much better amenities.
| S.No | ActionTaken |
| 1 | Works for provision of station name indication boards will be taken up in the current year i.e., 2010-11. |
2. I have been discussing about the coach guidance boards in this blog. These are well lit boards which indicate the actual position where respective coach will stop, much before the arrival of train. Though tenders were called last may, they were not yet installed in Ctr station. So I took up this matter as a complaint.
| Complaint : Sir, the coach indication boards for which tenders were called last year have not yet been installed at chittoor station. Pls take necessary action |

| 1 | Works sanctioned in LSWP. Tender discharged. But works were stalled due to ongoing cover over platform works. Coach guidance and at a glance info LED boards Will be provided by Nov.10. |
Some other developmental works taking place in Ctr station are;
3. Cover over platform will be provided fully on platform number 1.
4. Instead of DMU passengers presently running with 4 bogies, MEMU(main line multiple unit) trains with 7 bogies will be introduced soon. Already test run in this regard is completed.
5. Cover over platform for 2/3 is going on. But this 2/3 platform will only be partially covered.
6. Second foot over bridge will be constructed on south side of station.
7. Rs 3.8 crores have been allotted to chittoor to make it a model station. These funds will be spent on beautification, signages, drinking water, and platform improvement.
8. But there is one absurd plan to build a water pipeline from siddampalli station to Ctr station. Instead of wasting Money on 12 km of pipeline, they can just drill some borewells on any railway land much nearer to chittoor and better utilize saved Money on other amenities.
PS: if any one of you have been a regular passenger from ctr station, and wants to solve or bring to notice some genuine problem or any facility in Ctr station, you can do it by SMS ing to this no.
