Railways to get colourful, disable-friendly signages across 1,275 stations

The Railways has decided to replicate the colourful and disable- friendly signages introduced at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) station in Mumbai in more than 1200 railway stations notified to be modernised under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, sources have said.
