Railways mulls single food stall at all stations
New Delhi: In a significant change of policy change to create more space on platforms, the Railways will soon start removing extra food stalls from platforms. Instead, it will have a single stall, creating more space for commuters.

The railway authorities also claimed that during recent inspections, they have analysed the condition of the food stalls that have been leased on a contract basis.
This will include length and breadth of the food stalls on platforms and its concourse area, its total number at every station, number of daily commuters using a station, et cetera.
