The Western Railways is planning to allow anyone to host wedding receptions on its platforms at the Surat station. This week will see a proposal sent to the rail ministry, sources told Deccan Chronicle.

Along with Surat station's Platform 4, other stations selected to host wedding receptions include like Navapur.

A senior railway official said, "Surat station is massive, and there are people there who would actually pay to have their wedding receptions or parties on platforms as well. We will propose platform no. 4 for the project as it has two-three booking offices, which is ideal for these kinds of functions."

With the onset of the 2017 wedding season just 6 months away, Railway officials are eager to launch the idea.? WR divisional railway manager Mukul Jain said, "We are waiting for a policy that will help outline how we are to go about it."
