Chandigarh, July 14, 2026: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate four redeveloped railway stations in Punjab under the Centre's Amrit Bharat Station Scheme on July 17 at around 3 pm, BJP Punjab State President Sardar Kewal Singh Dhillon announced on Monday.
According to Dhillon, the Prime Minister will physically inaugurate the redeveloped Jalandhar Cantonment Railway Station and will virtually dedicate to the nation the upgraded railway stations at S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali), Sri Muktsar Sahib and Sri Anandpur Sahib.
Calling it a landmark step for Punjab's railway infrastructure, Dhillon said the four stations have been transformed into modern, passenger-friendly transport hubs equipped with improved facilities while retaining their local heritage and architectural character.
He said the redevelopment works include enhanced passenger amenities, improved accessibility, upgraded waiting areas, modern concourses, renovated platforms, lifts, escalators and other commuter-friendly infrastructure aimed at improving the overall travel experience.
Highlighting the Centre's infrastructure push, Dhillon said the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme is part of the Union Government's broader vision to modernise railway stations across the country into world-class transport hubs that strengthen connectivity, boost tourism, facilitate trade and contribute to economic growth.
He said the inauguration of the four redeveloped stations reflects the Central Government's commitment to improving public infrastructure in Punjab and providing world-class facilities to passengers. He added that the BJP-led Central Government continues to invest in railways, roads and other key infrastructure projects to support the state's overall development.
