“The staircase for Platform No 4 could not be constructed due to the rains as foundations are close to the running track. Post-monsoon the staircase work will be taken up and it should be ready in two months,” the MFVC said.

The total project cost is pegged at Rs 8 crore approximately. The FOB construction work was initiated in December 2021.
