Mohali Station Redevelopment: Passengers Cite Safety, Amenities Concerns
Mohali Railway Station has been updated, but people are worried about safety and cleanliness.
The station has new platforms and a flag, but not enough security cameras or staff.
There's only one person cleaning the whole station, and the Wi-Fi and water coolers don't always work.
Even though there are ramps and lifts for people with disabilities, they often don't work either.
Basically, the station is improved, but it still needs to be safer and have better basic services.
Mohali Railway Station has undergone redevelopment under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.
Passengers express concerns about safety, sanitation, and amenities despite infrastructure upgrades.
The station lacks adequate security, including insufficient CCTV coverage and no dedicated security personnel.
Sanitation is a problem with only one janitor responsible for cleaning the entire station.
Commuters report issues with WiFi, water coolers, and accessibility features like lifts and ramps.
