Often, passengers have to buy water at expensive prices while traveling in the train, but now at Jabalpur and other railway stations of the division, passengers will get cheap drinking water. Jabalpur Railway Division is going to install more than 50 water vending machines at 12 railway stations including Jabalpur.
The operation and maintenance of these machines will not be done by IRCTC but by the Railways itself. The responsibility of running these units will be given to private institutions, which is being prepared by the commercial department of the board. The division will install these machines at Jabalpur, Katni, Katni South, Murwara, Damoh, Sagar, Maihar, Satna, Rewa, Narsinghpur, Pipariya, Gadarwara stations.
