KOLKATA: The most efficient division of South Eastern Railway has now got a new A category certified tag on one of it's station.
Purulia Jn. under Adra division will be a 'A' category station. Purulia crossed the targeted criteria in the month of FEB, 2017. The station has seen every phase starting from NG, MG to BG since 1900. It is the only station in SER to pass through the B category house so fast with consecutive RGs of 13.1%, 20%, 28.53 and 38.87%.
MP Dr. Mriganko said,"The city has tremendous...
more... potential to grow specially in the departments of IT and hardware industries, situated at the center of industrial belt. It's developing rate will be increasing day by day. Purulia is among the first cities of West Bengal to start E-Rickshaws on pilot and commercial basis." He asked the authorities of division to start high priority premium trains from PRR as presently there is none such to prefer.
Reviewing to the resolution DRM Adra said to take time for the upgrade. Passenger amenities work are at full pace in Bokaro like new platforms, escalators etc. After that work will start at PRR. Purulia's status as 'A' category will be upgraded in the database after all required work completes but more priority will be given from now.
DCM, Bhanskar said,"We have got a brother of Bokaro now. We will try our best to upgrade them to best."
