The wait for that much-delayed train might just get a tad bearable, thanks to the TVs, beverage dispensing machines and light refreshments that will soon be available at Indian Railways’ waiting rooms.
As a pilot project, the Delhi Division has been asked to undertake the upgradation of its waiting rooms by providing modern facilities to passengers.
Pilot project
“The Delhi Division will undertake a pilot project for upgradation of waiting rooms with modern facilities for dispensing beverages, light refreshments, TVs, upgraded furniture, toilet facilities and other prescribed amenities and services under PPP mode through open bidding process,” a set of instructions sent from the railways’ transformation cell to the Northern Railway general manager said.
The division has been asked to conduct the project for three months and then submit a detailed assessment report to the Railway Board for consideration.
