COOKING FREE RAILWAY STATIONS


The Ministry of Railways has issued guidelines to the Zonal Railways asking them to discourage cooking and deep frying on the platforms of non-suburban stations with annual passenger earnings of more than Rs. 6 crores and classified as "A" class stations.

This is intended to improve environmental cleanliness on the platforms of such stations as well as to de-congest them.

However, no time-frame has been fixed for making such railway stations cooking free.
