NFR completes redevelopment of Haibargaon Railway Station

Maligaon, May 16 (MExN): Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has completed the redevelopment of Haibargaon Railway Station in Assam under the flagship Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, converting Haibargaon Station into a modern, passenger-centric and inclusive travel hub.

The redevelopment includes a comprehensive overhaul of the station’s circulating area, with structured parking zones, dedicated lanes for pick-up and drop-off, and widened pedestrian pathways. A new grand entrance has also been constructed for passengers, improving both accessibility and the aesthetic appeal of the station. The enhanced façade and improved concourse with modern booking counters reflect a renewed commitment to passenger convenience.

A key focus of the project is inclusivity. Special amenities for Divyangjan, including ramps, tactile tiles, accessible toilets and dedicated PRS counters have been integrated into the station layout to ensure universal accessibility. Modern modular toilets, a baby feeding room, and kids’ play area also cater to the needs of diverse traveller groups, including women, children and senior citizens.

Passengers can now enjoy an upgraded waiting hall adorned with local art and cultural murals, a refreshment room directly connected to the platform, and a redesigned platform surface. Enhanced lighting using multiple themed installations and an improved passenger information system ensures a safe and well-informed travel environment, day and night.

As part of NFR’s commitment to sustainability and local empowerment, kiosks under the ‘One Station One Product’ initiative and eco-friendly landscaping have been incorporated.
