PNS|Vizianagaram

As part of providing enhanced passenger services and novel experiences to rail users, the Waltair Division of East Coast Railway has started a coach restaurant in the circulating area of Vizianagaram railway station. Waltair Division authorities have modified AC coach in the circulating area of the station and modified interiors to suit the requirements.

This is the first-of-its-kind initiative in the East Coast Railway jurisdiction and second in the State. Rail commuters and the general public will have a unique and pleasant dining experience at the coach restaurant.

The rail coach restaurant was opened on Wednesday by Divisional Railway Manager Anup Satpathy. Speaking on the occasion, DRM said that the innovative idea had been conceptualised by the Division to provide premium experience to rail commuters by utilising an old unserviceable AC coach. This restaurant not only provides hygienic and quality food to rail commuters 24X7 but also generates additional revenue to the Railways. DRM appreciated the initiative of the Commercial Department led by AK Tripathi for implementing such innovative concepts.

Passengers will get premium dining experience in this multi-cuisine air-conditioned restaurant with hygienic and quality food available at low rates.`
