Full list: Railways to re-do these 90 stations to showcase culture, history
Indian Railways is planning to give an aesthetic makeover to around 90 stations with an idea to showcase local culture and history. For an example, the Aurangabad station is to be developed on lines of Ajantha or Ellora, Agra station is to be developed on lines of Taj Mahal, Ujjain station is to be developed on lines of Mahakaleshwar temples, Nagpur station to have a big orange in the premises, etc. Indian Railways is also in the process of redevelopment of more than 600 stations. In the planned upgrade, the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) is keeping elements of local heritage in the redevelopment of station buildings. For an example, in Charbagh (Lucknow) elements of existing heritage building are incorporated in second entry NE railway station. Similarly, in Gomti Nagar, elements of Awadh culture with Jali work has been incorporated. In Triputi station, Lord Tirumala temple design has been incorporated, and in Pondicherry, French colonial architectural elements are provided. Here is a list of 90 stations that would be upgraded:
