  • Attention of the railway authority is drawn to keep the station / platform premises safe and secured, especially at night. Passengers missing the last train face utmost danger / difficulty to pass the rest of the night in the premises. Berths are sold of some Bihar / Jharkhand bound passengers trains at night, that too, at the presence of police personnel. This gentleman faced extreme insecurity and dangerous situation in howrah-mokahma passengers, leaving at night.
  • Very clean inside and one of the best in India.
