HUBLI: Trilok Nath Perti, General Manager, South Western Railway, laid the foundation stone for a goods shed at Navalur near Hubli here on Thursday.
To develop Hubli station into a zonal headquarters station, it was decided to shift the existing goods shed at Hubli railway station to Navalur, Perti said.
Hubli station at present had only four platforms, hence, it was difficult to meet the demands of passengers. This also comes in the way of introducing additional trains.
Perti disclosed that the State Government had given 100 acres for this purpose free of cost at Navalur and the railways had also sanctioned Rs 11.2 crore for it.
After commissioning the Navalur project, the entire goods shed activities will be shifted there.
He informed that Hubli station would be improved by providing two additional platforms, foot overbridges, new station building and other additional facilities for passengers after shifting the goods shed.
