A total of 21 railway stations had been selected for building multi-functional complexes, Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal said at the 125th anniversary celebrations of Kozhikode railway station. Apart from this 100 railway stations had been identified across the country for a special cleanliness drive, he added. He assured that he would make all possible efforts for the development of railways infrastructure in Kerala. There is a need for upgradation of railway stations to world class stations, which can be done through public private partnership (PPP) mode, he said.
