ECoR shifts PRS & UTS of Bhubaneswar Station to new building

Bhubaneswar, June 17 (UNI) As part of the ongoing redevelopment of Bhubaneswar Railway Station to world-class standards, the East Coast Railway (ECoR) has initiated steps to improve passenger convenience and infrastructure.
The Passenger Reservation System (PRS) and Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) counters, which were previously operating from a temporary shed, have now been shifted to the newly constructed station building on a temporary basis.
According to ECoR sources, this arrangement ensures the uninterrupted availability of ticketing services while allowing construction work at the shed site to continue smoothly.
The redevelopment of Bhubaneswar Railway Station is being undertaken under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.
To further ease passenger movement, a newly constructed approach road from the Town Bus Stand/Temple side has been opened, providing better connectivity and hassle-free access to the station.
A major milestone in this redevelopment effort is the opening of direct access to Platform No 1 through a newly built ground-level departure concourse, which is expected to reduce congestion and significantly improve passenger flow.
The relocated PRS/UTS and enquiry counters at the under-construction station building offer more space and improved ease of movement for passengers, ECoR sources said.
