LUDHIANA: Railway authorities have decided to allow stalls selling food and books on the station platforms from June 1, when 200 passenger trains are set to resume operations, eight pairs of which will run on Punjab route.

The decision was taken by the railway board for the convenience of passengers.

However, there are certain guidelines which are need to be followed by the stall owners.

Senior divisional commercial manager Vivek Sharma said that at railways stations, passengers usually follow the ‘take away’ system and most stations do not have a dinning facility. So stall owners will work the same way but they will have to take care of social distancing at their stall. Besides, wearing of masks and gloves is mandatory. HTC
