Tatanagar station in Jamshedpur becomes more accessible for disabled people & elderly

Elderly and ailing passengers in Jamshedpur have some good news. They may no longer have to walk on Tatanagar platforms one and two now that the railway station. This is after a decision was taken to launch two more battery-run cars. This takes the total fleet size to three.

Until now, Tatanagar station had a single four-seater vehicle, donated by an NGO. It covered 25-km on a single charge, helping passengers during rush hours.

The two new cars are expected to be launched in the next two months.

Three companies have shown interest in donating battery-operated vehicles to Tatanagar. The station needs two more cars to help disabled people and elderly passengers to commute from the entrance gate to the platforms. The service will be free.

These will operate round the clock. Only some of the platforms will have the service as the rest are yet to be linked with ramps.

The station will provide charging ports while the salary of drivers would be paid by the agency that will run the service.
