Guys, any body knw what are rules to print station names at platform. I think that first regional language then national language(Hindi ), official language (english), I found below cases where its not followed. Board at Bhusawal, achalpur followed correctly, but at Akot regional language board skipped?? At New Amravati it's disaster Hindi first and Marathi second?? All stations are in Maharashtra but seems there is no uniformity. Can someone give more info on it?

since hindi and english are official languages so they r used. regional languages selected for locals generally state's official language is adopted.
I think rule is to print in both languages like achalpur in above post irrespective of difference in script/pronunciation. I am gonna file complaint against the new amravati board!!!

A very useful info.... :)
However I still feel that if pronunciation is same, then no need of wasting the paint. Station name can be painted in large font of Devanagari.
