PF alignment is strange: 1-3-2-4. 1 and 2 for trains from SDAH/SDAH south section (up). Ticket counters (reserved and unreserved) is nearby only of PF 4. Up and Down platforms are intra-connected by subways and interconnected by footbridge.
PF4 is adjacent to a big slum area. After 9 pm, the platform is not among the safest places.
Water taps mostly don't work.
All counters

have crowd round the year. Enquiry beside the reserved counter remains closed most of the times. Another one is situated outside the PRS which may be open for longer.
2 ATVM (ER zone) is situated in front of the PRS.
EMU trains schedule is shown in the boards over the counters.
No existence of RPF/GRP in actual apart from high-level checking which is very rare. Though TC is present.
