The Executive Lounge of Eastern Railway located in the old railway station of Howrah was opened on July 1. The lounge, which has a modern interior, is designed to provide comfortable and spacious accommodations for passengers waiting at one of the busiest rail stations in India. The entrance fee of the executive lounge is Rs 50 per hour. The facility is also charged as well as can be availed on a complimentary basis. The Howrah division of Eastern Railway is hoping that the license fee generated will contribute significantly to the non-fare revenue of the railways.
