Ludhiana railway station revamp project: The renovation of Punjab’s Ludhiana Junction Railway Station is anticipated to cost roughly Rs 300 crore. The project, which is a component of the Indian Railways’ continuous modernization, has been in the works for a very long time. The Ministry of Railways published a sneak peek of the station’s potential design on Twitter.
Aam Aadmi Party MP (Rajya Sabha) from Ludhiana, Sanjeev Arora discussed several issues regarding the revamp project of railway station Ludhiana with Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw in Delhi.
Arora said that after being elected as a Rajya Sabha member, he has consistently pushed for the upgrading of the British-built Ludhiana railway station, which opened in 1860. Since it was first built, the crossroads has not undergone any significant renovations, he continued. At the moment, he claimed, over 150 passenger trains and more than 30 goods trains depart each day from the railway station in Ludhiana.
