Upgraded Chhindwara Railway Station Showcases MP’s Tribal Art The redevelopment of Chhindwara railway station under the Centre’s Amrit Bharat Station Scheme has been completed, transforming the key railway hub into a modern passenger facility while highlighting the region’s cultural heritage. The project, executed by the South East Central Railway’s Nagpur Division, was completed at a cost of 17.23 crore. The initiative aims to blend contemporary infrastructure with local identity, incorporating representations of Patalkot, Deogarh Fort, and Chhindwara’s tribal heritage. The upgraded station features a modern facade inspired by local architecture and cultural motifs, complemented by two grand entrance gates, a large canopy, and CNC-designed decorative panels. Energy-efficient LED lighting and 3D artwork depicting local tourist attractions further enhance the aesthetic. An advanced CCTV surveillance system has been installed to improve security. Passenger amenities have been significantly upgraded, including air-conditioned first and second-class waiting halls, modern toilets, improved drinking water facilities, a food plaza, a baby feeding centre, digital signage, and an advanced train information system. To improve passenger movement and safety, a 12-metre-wide foot overbridge and six platform shelters have been constructed. The station also includes ample parking space and redesigned entry and exit points to ease traffic flow. Railway officials emphasized that the revamped station is expected to enhance passenger convenience, boost safety, and support tourism and economic development in the region. It serves as a model for heritage-based station redevelopment under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.#south_east_central_railway #chhindwara_railway_station #amrit_bharat_station_scheme #patalkot #deogarh_fort
