“The connector is about 140 metres long, four metres wide and was built at a cost of Rs 5 crore. Work on the connector started in April 2023 and it was completed on March 11, 2024,” he added. The connector at the station was proposed a few years ago to link all bridges to reduce non-travellers on the platform. It will also help commuters to access elevated ticket booking offices before entering the station premises.
