Different kinds of facilities will be provided in the lounge.”A senior official from BVG said the low-cost lounge is expected to be set up near the main entrance at the front of the station. “We are closely looking into the aspect of offering several food options. Though there are food options at the station, we want to provide passengers with a wider variety — mainly including local Maharashtrian cuisine at affordable prices,” the official said.He added that the local state cuisine options are being planned after senior railway officials had earlier pointed out the unavailability of the same at the station. “A proposal to set up eight stalls on platforms 2,3,4,5 and 6 has been sent to the IRSDC and the Central Railway office. These stalls will mainly sell local dishes from the state along with other food and snacks. The prices will be affordable and in line with the prescribed price range of the railways. We hope to get approval soon for the same so that proper spots can be chosen and the stalls can come up,” the official told TOI.The Pune division of the Central Railway handed over the station to the IRSDC (Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Limited) for facility management in February. The IRSDC, which is an undertaking of the railways, had further given a 15-year contract to BVG India for the same.
