Sealdah Station to Implement Fixed Platforms for Suburban Trains
Sealdah station, a very busy train station, is making some changes to help people find their trains more easily.
They're going to assign specific platforms to different train lines.

This is meant to make it less crowded, easier to find your train, and make sure trains run on time.
It's like giving each train a special parking spot!
