GMs, in addition to IRCTC, empowered to set up food plazas in train stations

NEW DELHI: In a move aimed at increasing the number of food plazas, the fast-food units, and the multi-cuisine restaurants at railway stations, the Ministry of Railway has now empowered the general managers (GMs) of all the 17 zones apart from the IRCTC to utilize the vacant commercial spaces for setting up of food- plazas or other food units. Following this order, the railways at zone level would be able to set up more than 100 static food plazas and the fast-food units at different railway stations in addition to more than 300 food plazas and other units already functioning.
