The facilities available at the railway stations were very poor and do not meet the needs of the passengers. Facilities like CCTV cameras, escalators, lifts, safe drinking water plants, modern waiting halls, toilets and special facilities for women should also be provided in the railway stations, he said.

The MP also requested the Minister to set up a rail rake centre in Pandurangapuram railway station in Kothagudem district, which is an industrial area, grant funds and develop it.
