It is a important station in the sealdah south devision.ticket counters are sufficient in number altough there will be a long line in the office time. If the computerised counters are open all the time it will be helpful to normal people. There are many stores on the station. Finally, it is good as a junction station.

One of the most important and renowned station in Sealdah south section. From where line is diverted for Canning and Diamond harbour. Like all other station of our state, this station too, not for passenger. But vendor and unauthorized encroachment have no care about you. What a administration!! When you talked about law and order, everyone else has explaining the situation is very bad and no one is ready to obeying our rules and regulations. Unfortunately he himself also break all types of law and order. Mainly vote bank

The situation here can be best described as post apocalyptic. Peopl get killed now and then while running and fighting to cross the rail track or catch trains. Meanwhile all this kinds of sellers (mainly fruits, veggies and flowers) have occupied every inch of the railway property.The situation starts getting worse from the late afternoon to evening and it becomes pathetic whenever a Sonarpur Local arrives.Yes, in Indian commerce do spill over rails and roads. But Sonarpur has gone to an extreme level. Imagine Sealdahs 80% crowd of its southern section passing through this Junction which is hundredth time smaller with basic to no public amenities, yes thats Sonarpur.Two extremely narrow overhead bridges are there, which connects the platforms, but there ARE NO INFRASTRUCTURE TO HANDLE THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF CROWD!The callous government authorities are doing nothing to improve the situation. Recently they have constructed drains right through the middle of the Sonarpur Bazar Road!! And they kept the height elevated from either sides. I mean who does that! drains should be on either side of the roads not right in the middle!!

Being a junction station it is always quite crowded. Ticket counters are available in both platform no 1 and 4. Even you can purchase tickets from some shops located just beside by spending 1 rupee extra. All the trains of Sealdha south line except Budge Budge local is available at this station. Usually local trains stops at platform no 3. Platform no 1 is for up trains, 2 for down(expect canning) and 4 is for canning locals. Station is quite clean and well maintained and all sorts of transportation is available outside the station.

It is one of the most important junction station of Sealdah South Suburban Rail line. Availability of toilet and drinking water is satisfying. Also number of sweepers clean the station periodically.
