One of the biggest in the city, the Whitefield Railway Station is neglected by the authorities to an extent that there is no automatic power backup even.
This is apart from the station lacking most basic facilities. For instance, last week, during a scheduled power shutdown, the station went pitch dark as no automated power backup kicked in as should have been the case.
Commuters complained that the railway authorities are digging up a portion of one of the platforms close to the southern gate of the station. “Pits are being dug to build a walkway to the Kadugodi bus stop in the south side of the station. What if someone fell into one of the pits when the lights went off the other day?” wondered a regular commuter.
