Chheoki railway station of Prayagraj
The stalls will come up at platforms 1 and 7/8 of Prayagraj Junction and platforms 3/4 of Prayagraj Chheoki. Last month, NCR introduced its first rail coach restaurant at Prayagraj Chheoki, where a decommissioned coach was converted into a dining facility, offering passengers a distinctive railway-themed dining experience. Prayagraj: Railway passengers will soon have more than the usual samosa, tea and puri-sabzi options at Prayagraj Junction and Prayagraj Chheoki stations, with NCR’s Prayagraj division planning three ‘innovative catering’ stalls offering a mix of modern, healthy and fusion food. The initiative is aimed at catering to changing food preferences of passengers while providing hygienic and quality food during their journey. The catering outlets will particularly focus on ‘Shri Anna’ or millet-based food for health-conscious travellers. The menu will include ragi pizza, jowar momos, bajra khichdi and millet-crust pizza. The railway’s move comes amid growing demand for healthier alternatives at stations and is expected to add variety to the food available to passengers. The initiative follows the railway’s recent efforts to diversify food options at stations.
