Howrah Station Expands with New Platform

Howrah Station in West Bengal has a new platform, number 24, which started working on Monday.

This platform is very long, about 635 meters, and can fit a big train with 24 coaches.

Before this, long-distance trains had to wait a lot at platform 17.

Now, the South Eastern Railway will use the new platform for its express trains.

This will help passengers because they won't have to wait as long.

Soon, platform 17 will be given to the Eastern Railway to make it longer so it can also fit big trains.

The station is also getting more platforms and extending others to fit even longer trains.

This is all part of a big plan to make the station better and handle more trains.
