It will be offering the visitors several complementary and paid services, including a multi-cuisine buffet facility, business centre with phone and laptop facility, airport-like modern amenities, wash and change service etc.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw expressed gratitude to Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi for inaugurating this facility which will provide enhanced comfort to the passengers.
Vaishnaw further explained that the Indian Railways is working towards developing railway stations that have importance from a religious and cultural perspective.
This will end up encouraging travel, pilgrimage and tourism and also facilitate the local economy, Financial Express reports.
