Hailakandi Railway Station Lacks Basic Passenger Amenities

Hailakandi: Hailakandi Railway Station passengers using the platform's services continue to face severe inconvenience due to the lack of basic amenities such as public toilets, drinking water facilities, waiting rooms, and display boards. The situation remains unchanged, causing frustration among daily commuters and long-distance travellers alike.  With three major long-distance trains from Mizoram now passing through Hailakandi district, the number of passengers using the station has increased significantly. The infrastructure at the station has not kept pace with the growing demand.

Locals have urged the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) authorities to take immediate measures to upgrade the facilities. “Even the basic amenities are missing at Hailakandi station,” said a regular passenger, expressing disappointment over the condition of the station. Passengers also complained that Platform No. 2 lacks proper roofing, leaving travellers exposed to the weather, while coach halting display boards are yet to be installed on Platform No. 1.

Commuters have appealed to the NFR to take proactive steps to resolve these long-pending issues and improve the overall condition of the Hailakandi Railway Station, which remains one of the key railway points in southern Assam.
