one
of
the
most
modern
stations
on
the
Indian
Railways
network
and
has
some
good
facilities.
1.
Getting
Around:
Free
Buses
to
SOU
would
be
available
from
the
exit
during
the
arrival
of
trains.
Even
if
you
are
unable
to
find
one,
don't
panic.
There
are
pink
E-Rickshaws
available
which
are
driven
by
women
which
are
reasonably
priced.
The
fares
for
each
destination
is
pre-approved
and
refer
the
attached
sheet
to
avoid
being
overcharged.

railway
station
only.
The
charges
were
around
2000
for
a
couple
ac
room
for
24
hrs.
C.
Other
Good
Accomodation:
BRG
Budget
Stay

Food:
The
IRCTC
Food
Track
in
the
station
complex
is
amazing
for
snacks
and
serves
amazing
Mexican
Pockets.
Other
items
on
the
menu
were
Thepla,
Dhokla
and
Paneer
Samosa
which
were
nice
too
(Food
Pics

below).
There
is
a
fine
dine
restaurant
named
Jagdish
Restaurant
above
the
Food
Track
which
has
good
ambience
but
costs
high.
There
is
a
MCDonalds
outlet
right
opposite
to
Ekta
Nagar
Railway
Station
which
is
clean
with
good
washrooms
and
has

your
list
of
attractions
to

built
amazingly
well

there
