The project aims to preserve traditional crafts by offering support to artisans through railway stations that see huge footfall daily. Senior divisional commercial manager Hari Mohan inaugurated the stall on Saturday. The fee for setting up the stall is ₹500. As it is located outside the platform, purchasing a platform ticket isn’t necessary to visit it. Each stall will be set up for 15 days before the space is rented to another vendor.
