Chakradharpur division fails to install escalators at Tatanagar in five yearsDespite being designated as the model station of the South East Zone, Tatanagar station in the Chakradharpur Division has faced issues with escalator installation. While an escalator was installed on platform one, it has been out of service for two months. Four additional escalators were promised in 2019, but only...

While three escalators are proposed for the new foot overbridge, none are planned for descending. This lack of accessibility options contrasts with other major stations, which have both ascending and descending escalators. Tatanagar only has one operational lift, with a second one under construction. The delay in installing these essential facilities raises concerns for passenger convenience.
South East Zone ka model station kehlane ke baavajood, Chakradharpur Division mein Tatanagar station par escalator lagaane mein bahut problem aa rahi hai.

Naya foot overbridge par toh teen escalators lagane ki baat hai, par utarne ke liye koi escalator nahin hai. Dusre badi railway stations par chadhne aur utarne dono ke liye escalators hote hain, par Tatanagar mein sirf chadhne ke liye hain, aur woh bhi sirf teen platforms par. Tatanagar mein sirf ek lift kaam kar raha hai, aur dusra ban raha hai. In essential facilities ko lagane mein der hone se passengers ko station tak pahunchne aur wahan se jaane mein bahut dikkat ho rahi hai.
