Tender coconut stalls by farmers to open at five railway stations

MADURAI: In a first, Southern Railway has allowed farmers to set up tender coconut stalls on platforms at five prominent stations in the Madurai railway division. The stalls are likely to be opened this week.

The initiative, which will benefit passengers during the summer season and farmers, is part of ‘one station one product’ (OSOP) concept, which aims to promote indigenous products, crafts, and local entrepreneurship.
