Tirupati station in south India to promote kalamkari saris & textiles

In addition, multiple products can also be showcased and sold at the station, if the products are indigenous to that area, South Central Railway (SCR) said in a media release.

Temporary stall structures would be erected by the Railways and sufficient water and electricity connection will be provided for the pilot project free of cost. Stall/kiosk will be set up in the areas, which are easily accessible to boarding/alighting at the station. Significantly, sale to transit passengers while in train will also be allowed in identified trains/routes.

Sanjeev Kishore, general manager, SCR, has appealed to the artisans and craftsmen, especially those who have expertise in kalamkari saris and local textiles, etc and hailing from in-and-around Tirupati area to utilise this unique opportunity.
