Chandigarh

If you are a daily visitor to the railway station or you like travelling by train and dislike the food served at the railway station, here’s a bit of good news.

Comesum, a famous food outlet at various railway stations in the country, is soon opening shop at the Chandigarh railway station.

The striking feature of the outlet is that it serves food 24 hours a day. Though the outlet is ready, but due to electricity “shortage”, it is not ready to serve food as yet. The seating capacity for the Comesum is around 45-50 persons.

The prices at the outlet will be decided as per the guidelines of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC).

General Manager of Comesum Rakesh Kumar says, “The proposal for Comesum was in the queue for the past five years but it has been implemented now. The food junction is ready to serve the people but due to heavy requirement of electricity, we are unable to deliver the delicacies.”

Comesum is the largest food junction at the country’s railway stations with 40 outlets. “IRCTC has approved Comesum because of its hygiene and tasty food. We underwent a few quality tests to get the clearance certification from the railways,” Rakesh revealed.

Comesum also plans to open huge outlets in Punjab. The target cities are Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Amritsar and Bathinda. “Comesum has planned some huge investment for Punjab. To attract Punjabis, Comesum has already carried out a survey in the state to lure Punjabis. By the end of this year, Comesum may be set up in Amritsar, Ludhiana and Jalandhar,” Rakesh said.
