1/6 - ​Valsad railway station gets a brand new look

Indian Railways has revamped the Valsad railway station in Gujarat!

As part of the station beautification and redevelopment initiative of Piyush Goyal-led Indian Railways, the Western Railway (WR) zone has completely redeveloped the 95-year-old station building and circulating area of the Valsad station.

2/6 -​Redevelopment

According to a press release issued by WR, the redevelopment project was aimed at not only upgrading the station but also to improve the passenger amenities which the railway station lacked for a very long time.

3/6 - ​Problems

Several problems plagued the Valsad station such as narrow platforms, inadequate space for queuing at the ticket booking counters and the concourse hall and overcrowded circulating area due to unplanned management.

Apart from these, other crucial problems like waiting halls without any amenities and the absence of planned parking space were some of the major issues. As the station building of Valsad is almost a century old, the façade of the building had lost its aesthetic appeal as well, Indian Railways claimed.

4/6 - ​Valsad is an important station

The Valsad station is an important station on the Virar-Surat section of the division and the daily footfall of passengers is found to be approximately 26,000 since almost all passengers as well as Mail/Express trains halt at the station.
