Coimbatore : Focusing on increasing the non-fare revenue earnings, Salem Division of Southern Railways has decided to install body mass index (BMI) kiosks in 13 railway stations.
As a first step, one such kiosk was inaugurated at the concourse area of Salem Junction by Divisional Railway Manager U. Subba Rao.
The kiosk will provide BMI free to the passengers along with safety information, features of railway station, daily weather report, and platform way finder, helplines and Important Railway information besides displaying commercial advertisements.
The division has planned to install the 13 BMI kiosks at 11 stations which will earn Rs 4.50 lakh towards annual license fee for total contract, a release said today.
Erode Jn, Salem Jn, Karur Jn, Tiruppur, Coimbatore Jn , Udagamandalam, Mettupalayam, Coonoor , Podanur , Namakkal and Salem Town have been identified to install the kiosks.
