100 trains, 12 platforms, airport-like facilities and...: New 'king' of railway network to be built in...., It's name is...
The pace of development of Western Uttar Pradesh is happening at a lightening speed. A grand and ultra-modern railway station 'Greater Noida Terminal' is going to be built in Bodaki area of Gautam Buddha Nagar district, which will be the biggest railway terminal of western Uttar Pradesh till date. This will not be just a station, but a multimodal transport hub (MMTH) that will turn Greater Noida into India's smartest railway connection hub.
The station, to be built on 176 hectares of land near Bodaki, will be an integral part of the MMTH project, with 46 hectares of land alone being used for the railway terminal. The station has been specifically designated as a 'mega terminal'. It will have 12 large platforms, which will handle around 100 trains every day, including high-speed trains like the Vande Bharat Express .
The terminal has been designed as a complete transit experience , not just a place to catch a train. It will be built as a multi-level structure with train movement below and amenities like retail stores, office space and guest houses above. It will also have hi-tech features like state-of-the-art toilets, food court, waiting lounge and digitalised information system to give passengers an airport-like feel.
The initial estimated cost of this mega project was around Rs 1,850 crore , but due to rising construction costs and expansion of facilities, its cost has now almost doubled. The built-up area of the station will be 70,000 square metres. There will also be 63 yard lines here, where maintenance and parking of trains will be done.
This mega terminal is an important project of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). The terminal will also ensure direct metro and bus connectivity to Noida, Greater Noida, Delhi and other areas of NCR. It will include ISBT (Interstate Bus Terminal), local bus terminals and a metro station, connecting the entire region with a robust and integrated transit system.
The project was declared a special railway project in December 2024, which has accelerated the land acquisition for it. According to officials, now only some land belonging to the railways is left to be acquired, which will be completed in two months under the Railway Act. Acquisition of other lands has already been completed.

Frustrated workers are actively seeking alternative employment, leading to significant disruptions within the organization. This exodus is leaving the company scrambling to fill the vacant positions and maintain operational efficiency. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Turning employees into little more than bonded labour not only affects productivity but also causes workers to look for other options at the drop of a hat. Recently, a Reddit user revealed how workers at his company, fed up with the low pay and lack of recognition during their bond period, have been making a beeline for an exit, leaving the company in a to the popular subreddit Developers India , she shed light on the internal conditions of a company where new hires—both fresh graduates and professionals with prior experience—are bound by a compulsory two-year commitment. During this bond period, employees receive extremely modest salaries ranging between Rs 12,000 and Rs 15,000 per has added to the frustration is the absence of a merit-based appraisal system. Salary increases are linked only to the number of years served, not to actual performance or contribution.

This rigid structure has naturally bred dissatisfaction across the the past year, the organization has refrained from hiring any new employees. Instead, the entire operational burden has been carried by the existing staff. Most of them are nearing the end of their bond period or have just completed it. Unsurprisingly, many are now actively seeking new opportunities that offer better pay and recognition. After spending years stuck in a low-paying, underappreciated role, the desire to move on is both rational and the management's reaction to this growing trend has been troubling. Instead of addressing the core issues—such as salary disparities, lack of appreciation, or career growth—they've resorted to stricter control. Employees have reported an increasing number of leave requests being denied without valid justification. Moreover, some team leaders and supervisors have begun exerting undue pressure, taking advantage of their positions to control or intimidate their has further fueled an environment rife with internal politics, favoritism, and intrusive micromanagement. These actions appear to be hasty and panicked attempts to curb attrition, rather than thoughtful strategies to retain overarching sentiment among the workforce is clear: the company never intended to invest in the long-term growth of its employees. Its goal seemed limited to extracting maximum output at the lowest cost for a fixed duration. Such short-sighted tactics have begun to backfire. Rather than fostering loyalty, the organization is inadvertently pushing talent out the an era where employees have access to better job options and platforms for voicing grievances, companies clinging to exploitative practices risk not just losing their workforce—but also their reputation.
