Western Railway To Introduce 40 Authorised Vendors On Churchgate–Virar Local Trains, Crack Down On Illegal Hawkers
Western Railway will introduce 40 authorised non-catering vendors on Churchgate–Virar local trains to curb illegal hawking and improve passenger convenience. Vendors will carry official IDs and sell only approved non-food items. The move, modelled on Central Railway's system, is expected to generate ₹25–27 lakh annually while enabling stricter action against unauthorised sellers.
