The location visited includes Ambphalla Chowk Outside Ved Mandir Enclave, Near Revenue New Plot, Tally Morh Janipur, PHE Lane Janipur, Jawahar Nagar and Bhawani Nagar.

Sharma said that the station will take some time more to get complete and after its completion, a heavy load of electricity will be bifurcated and residents of Ambphalla, Karan Nagar, New Plot and adjoining areas will benefit a lot through this station.
