Kalka and Mohali railway stations are among the 15 stations which were shortlisted for modernisation under the ambitious ‘Amrit Bharat Station Scheme’ launched by the Ministry of Railways.
The Chandigarh railway station has already been developing on the pattern of world-class railway station.
Kalka Railway Station is the starting point of the UNESCO protected 96km-long heritage Kalka-Shimla narrow gauge railway track.
Under the scheme, attempts will be made to club different grades/types of waiting halls and provide good cafeteria/retail facilities as far as possible, high level platforms (760-840 mill meter) will be provided at all categories of stations.
