Union Minister of State for Railways Darshana Jardosh, who is presently on a three-day visit to Visakhapatnam, on Saturday inaugurated the coach restaurant at the railway station which has been developed under the Non-Fare Revenue by Waltair Division.
It was the fourth such restaurant in Andhra Pradesh, after Vijayawada, Guntur and Vizianagaram.
She appreciated the Divisional Officials for undertaking such innovative projects and effective utilisation of resources. The railways can earn ₹72 lakh per annum by leasing it out the restaurant to a local trader. A defunct coach was fabricated at a cost of ₹15 lakh, and was leased to the vendor to run 24 hours at the station. It is located near the gate number one.
