For PNRs already booked, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) will intimate the concerned Zonal Railway about the exact date from which onboard catering services with cooked food will be resumed in a particular train for the journeys falling within the ARP. The order added that the Zonal Railways on gelling such intimation will enable the option of booking meal/ opting out of catering services for the journey dates starting from the commencement of catering service in PRS software.
According to BACL, the biophilic-inspired business park will offer smart workspaces within a vibrant public realm. The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
