Railway passengers from Edappally have approached authorities demanding better amenities at the station. Commissioned decades ago, the station still doesn't have basic facilities such as roof, chairs and drinking water.
“Authorities said they were planning to set up better facilities at the station through the public-private participation mode. We have now decided to approach major firms, institutions and companies in the area to take up the initiative,“ said R D Manikandan, committee member, Edappally railway passengers' association.
The association has also urged immediate action to issue a no-objection certificate to complete the road next to platform one. “Though Rs 20 lakh has been approved for it, the road work has been pending for years,“ he added.
