Structure

The station has a central island platform and two side platforms. Between each side platform and the island platform is a track, serving up and down trains. The station was built in this layout as it was anticipated that the Kolkata Metro Line 2 will interchange with Kolkata Metro Line 1 at this station and the layout will effectively handle all the traffic. However, that did not happen and the side platforms are not used. Instead of opening doors on both sides, trains open doors on the right side, that is towards the island platform.
