Guntur, January 3:
In a major boost to passenger amenities, Indian Railways has introduced modern sleeping pod facilities at Guntur Railway Station, marking a significant step toward improving comfort for travellers in Andhra Pradesh. The newly launched pods are designed to provide safe, hygienic, and affordable resting spaces for passengers waiting for long hours or travelling overnight. Each pod is equipped with essential features such as clean bedding, charging points, ventilation, and secure access, catering especially to budget travellers and solo commuters.
Railway authorities stated that the initiative is part of a broader modernization drive aimed at transforming major railway stations into passenger-friendly hubs. Officials noted that Guntur was selected due to its strategic location and high passenger footfall. Travellers have responded positively to the facility, saying it offers a convenient alternative to waiting halls and nearby lodges. The Railways also indicated that similar pod facilities may be introduced at other major stations across the state based on passenger response and demand.
