The waiting room will be constructed on the ground floor along platform number 1.

Under the initiative, the train passengers will get much needed relief from the inconvenience which they have to face, as till date there is no waiting room for the second class passengers. They have to spent long time, sometimes even hours at the concourse, awaiting the arrival of train. The design of the waiting room will be similar to the one existing at Mumbai Central, said, a senior officer associated with the work.

"We will try to give a different look to the room which will appeal the passengers and make them comfortable while resting in the waiting room", said the officer.

Not only this, the railway officials have also planned to shift the first class waiting room for gents on the ground floor of platform number 1.

"As the waiting room for gents and ladies are set up on different floors, we have to face difficulty. But it seems that this move of the NCR will provide great relief to us", said a passenger and a resident of Katra, Ajit."The tender has been called for it and the work will start within a couple of months. We will be making all efforts to accomplish the work before the end of the financial year", said the senior officer.
