The Mumbai Division of the Central Railways (CR) is looking introduce on-board shopping on long distance premium trains such as the Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto Express, reports The Financial Express. Three trains have been suggested – the Konark Express, the Chennai Express and the Ernakulam-Hazrat Nizamuddin Duronto Express.
On-board shopping would be tried on these three trains and if successful, they may be extended to other trains as well. The Railways has said they will use a collapsible trolley to prevent inconvenience.
Passengers would be able to purchase gadgets, cosmetics and other products. Cash payments and digital payments would be accepted.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
