Beginning Friday, April 1, all the cleaning, food stall and maintenance activities at Pune railway station will be taken over by the Pune railway division as the three-year-old contracts made with the Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Limited (IRSDC) have expired. While the overall works will be taken over by the Pune railway division’s various departments, some parts will be given to the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).
After the Indian railways closed down its nine-year-old joint-venture with IRSDC in October 2021, it was decided to handover the station development project works to all the respective zonal railways. While for the last six months, it was still carried out by IRSDC workers and now finally, it has been handed over to the Pune railway division and IRCTC.
