Passengers have been left in the lurch, with over a dozen IRCTC-run eateries that provided food at economical rates in prominent railway stations across Kerala closing down during the past month.
A few others are on the verge of closure. A total of 12 canteens and one each at Nagercoil and Kanyakumari have downed shutters, it is learnt.
The eateries at Ernakulam Junction, Ernakulam Town, and Kollam were told to close down since these stations would be pulled down in a phased manner, to make way for new buildings as part of the redevelopment of these railway stations.
