FSSAI awards 5-Star 'Eat Right Station' certificate to Chandigarh Railway Station

Earlier, FSSAI has begun a large-scale effort i.e., the 'Eat Right India' movement to ensure safe, healthy, and sustainable food for all Indians.

The other railway stations with this certification include Anand Vihar Terminal Railway Station; Delhi, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus; Mumbai, Mumbai Central Railway Station; Mumbai and Vadodara Railway Station, Vadodara.
