Leelma and Jas Jaisinder railway stations located near the India-Pakistan border in Barmer district of Rajasthan are in the news due to their unique arrangement. For a long time there was neither a platform, nor a station building, nor a ticket counter. The work of selling tickets is done on contract, where the employee arrives with tickets in the bag a few minutes before the arrival of the train and goes away after selling the tickets.
Indian Railways is setting new records of progress. Be it world class infrastructure or digital services. Changes are coming every day in Indian Railways.

Meanwhile, today we will tell you about a station where there is neither any building nor any ticket counter... Here the TC buys tickets by filling them in bags.
Unique railway station near India-Pak border
Actually, this unique railway station is near the India-Pakistan border in Barmer district of Rajasthan. Which is known as Leelama and Jas Jaisinder Railway Station. This station dates back to before independence. But there was no platform here till now. Now for the first time, 600-600 meter long platforms are being built here. Not only this, there is no building or even a ticket window in Leelama. Here work is done on contract, meaning the work of selling tickets is in private hands. The contract worker comes with a bag about 15 to 20 minutes before the arrival of the train and goes away after selling the tickets.
Tracks and bags only ticket system!
Let us tell you that earlier there were only tracks in the name of the station. Where everyone from children to the elderly had to board and deboard the train directly by stairs. Due to which there was a possibility of an accident. But now there is good news for the people here that Indian Railways is going to develop. For which the electrical work has been completed. All arrangements will be made soon.
