Rani Kamalapati station: PM Modi inaugurates India's 'most modern' railway station in MP

 

PM Modi on Monday inaugurated the revamped Rani Kamlapati railway station in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal city.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the revamped Rani Kamalpati railway station in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal city on Monday.

Previously known as Habibanj, the "most-modern" railway station has been renamed after Gond queen Rani Kamlapati.

This comes after the Madhya Pradesh government wrote to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs about renaming the upgraded Habibganj railway station, stating that it will honour the legacy and bravery of the widow of the Gond ruler of Nizam Shah.

PM Modi inaugurated the renamed railway station during his visit to Bhopal for a tribal convention to mark 'Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas' in remembrance of tribal icon and freedom fighter Birsa Munda.

The station has been redeveloped at a cost of around Rs 450 crore in the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode.

Designed as a green building, this railway station has all the modern world-class amenities that also take into account ease of mobility for the physically challenged.

According to officials, the station has also been revamped as a hub for integrated multi-modal transport and has been built with modern world-class features.
