 STATION
A RAILWAY STATION THAT LOOKS MORE LIKE AN AIRPORT- MANDUADIH
REDEVELOPMENT
RAILWAY STATION.
BY RAILWAYS Source- ‘The Economic Times, 13.06.2019’.
The Manduadih railway station in Uttar Pradesh looks less like a railway station and more like an
airport terminal. The newly-revamped railway station is of world-class level - it can easily be
mistaken for a swank corporate office.
Not only does the station building make the Manduadih railway station class apart, but also all
its various passenger-friendly amenities. These new facilities provided by Indian Railways include
LED lights, air-conditioned waiting lounge & stainless-steel benches.
Fountains have been set up to beautify the circulating areas which now has a spacious waiting
area, circulating area, booking/reservation office, cafeteria, food court, waiting rooms and
more.

The station also has AC lounge, AC and non-AC retiring rooms as well as dormitories. The
architecture in the station premises reflects the spirit of Kashi. The platforms are clean and
shining with LED lights and LCD display panels. The premises are well lit with LED lights and
cleanliness is top-notch.
This station will not only provide world-class international standard facility to the passengers but,
it will also offer employment to Varanasi citizens. The Manduadih railway station has eight
platforms and currently, eight trains originate from the station.
