With refeference to the above subject it is stated that the Government of India has redeveloped the Habibganj Railway Station in Bhopal at a cost of Rs. 100 crore. This project will be dedicated to the people by the Prime Minister on 15 November 2021.

To keep the memory of the Gond Queen Kamalapati alive and to be grateful for her sacrifice, it has been decided to rename Habibganj Railway Station as Rani Kamlapati Railway Station on the occasion of the “Tribal Pride Day” on 15 November 2020.

It is requested to take immediate action to rename the Habibganj Railway Station as Rani Kamlapati Railway Station.
