Samastipur: After a long wait, separate waiting room facility for women passengers has once again been restored at Samastipur Junction. Railways has started operating a modern ladies waiting room in the newly constructed building adjacent to the reserved category waiting room. This facility has especially brought relief to those women passengers who had been demanding to sit in a safe and quiet environment for a long time. Railway administration says that the new facility is an important step towards further improving the experience of passengers.
According to the information, earlier also there was a provision of women’s waiting room at Samastipur Junction, but in view of the dilapidated condition of the building, it had to be closed many years ago. After this, a temporary place was earmarked for women in the reserved category waiting room itself. However, women had to face an uncomfortable environment due to the presence of male and female passengers at the same place. Many passengers had also expressed concern about this problem and stressed the need for a safe, separate place. In such a situation, the opening of the newly constructed women’s waiting room is being considered as a step to make the travel experience easier to a great extent.
Additional facilities will be added to the new women’s waiting room
Along with the operation of the new waiting room, the process of adding some more facilities to it is also going on. Divisional Railway spokesperson of East Central Railway, Ranjit Kumar said that keeping in mind the needs of women passengers, the seating arrangement in the waiting room will be further improved. Apart from this, special attention will be given to cleanliness and availability of essential facilities like drinking water, fans, charging points and proper lighting will be ensured. He said that the new look and well-furnished environment of the waiting room will provide a safe and comfortable environment to women, making their travel experience more comfortable than before.
Good news for women passengers
There is a wave of happiness among the passengers as soon as the information about the opening of the women’s waiting room is received. Many passengers say that despite being a busy station like Junction, there were a lot of problems due to the closure of the separate waiting room for women. Now with the resumption of this facility, journeys will feel more safe and respectable. Women passengers expressed hope that the railway administration will always keep this place clean and smoothly running. At the same time, local people believe that increasing such facilities at the station strengthens both the image of the district and the quality of railway services.
