Railways To Open Janaushadhi Kendra Outlet At Odisha’s Khurda Road Station

Bhubaneswar: The Central government will set up Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janaushadhi Kendras (PMBJKs) at 50 railway stations in the country including one in Odisha.

The Ministry of Railways, in a release on Friday, stated it has identified 50 stations to open the Janaushadhi Kendras on pilot basis. One of these Kendras will be set up at Khurda Road station in Odisha. These aim at making available quality medicines to the passengers at an affordable price.
