Great news for railway passengers! The long-awaited Foot Over Bridge (FOB) connecting Nizamuddin Railway Station to the nearby Sarai Kale Khan’s Namo Bharat station is finally complete. Now, commuters won’t have to deal with traffic jams or detours anymore.
🚶♂️🚶♀️ What’s New?

A 280-meter long FOB has been built, fully connecting both stations.
