Revamp work at Alamnagar station in full swing; to be completed by October’

The revamp work of the Alamnagar station at Rajajipuram area of Lucknow, at a cost of approximately ₹32 crores will be completed by the end of October or the first month of November,” said Suresh Kumar Sapara, divisional railway manager (DRM), Northern Railway (NR), Lucknow on Thursday. The project was sanctioned in 2018-19.

“The revamp work of the station is in full swing and near completion. It is also going to be converted into a satellite station,” he said.

“A satellite railway station is like any other station having similar facilities to the main station. The only difference is the location. Unlike the main railway station in the city, satellite stations are farther away, in less congested areas, so trains can end and originate from them without congesting the main station. After the work is done, the station will serve its purpose of decongesting the Charbagh railway station,” he added.
