Passengers can pay Rs 10 for charging their phones for one hour. This kiosk, which works like an ATM, is available for rupees 10 to the mobile holder,” he said. 

HOW IT WORKS
On payment, a printed slip with a barcode will be issued to the passenger.

After the charging is done, the barcode should be scanned to open the locker and remove the phone from it.
