The facility is available at Igatpuri, Karjat, Manmad, Khandwa, Badnera, Shegaon, Pune, Miraj, Daund, Sainagar Shirdi, Nagpur, Wardha, Solapur, Wadi and Kurduwadi stations. The initiative is launched particularly for passengers travelling in unreserved compartments, it said. A railway official said that an ''economy meal'' can be purchased for just Rs 20. It will contain seven puris and potato bhaji, whereas for Rs 50, one can buy ''snack meals'' with rice dishes.
