Shubham Kumar, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager of Ferozepur division, confirming the development said the city railway station was among those stations which fall in the top priority list of the Railways as a large number devotees come to the city daily. The Railways’ priority is to provide passenger-friendly facilities at railway stations.

He elaborated that some railway stations in North India, including Pathankot cantonment, Jalandhar cantonment, Katra and Amritsar, have been chosen to receive the facility of relieving body stress.

Usually, tired and exhausted passengers at the railway station wait to reach their destinations to relieve the body pain developed during journey. Their fatigue assume the form of stress as they wait in waiting halls and walk long on platforms. Now, they can heal body aches with the assistance of the electric body massage machines to be installed in the body parlours to set up on the platform.
