IRCTC Food: If you also often travel by railway and are troubled by the high charges levied on food and drink items by vendors in the train, then this news will give you relief. Now strict action has been taken by IRCTC on this. The associate channel Zee Business had made a detailed report on this issue. After the new order issued by IRCTC, passengers will get relief regarding the rates on food items. In the order given by IRCTC to the vendors, it was said that the vendors should not sell food by adding a separate rate along with the food.
Vigilance team will remain active in trains
IRCTC has written a letter to all GGMs regarding this. Along with giving instructions for immediate action, a detailed report has been sought by May 5. IRCTC warned that this habit of taking extra money from sellers of goods will have to be changed immediately. To prevent this, vigilance teams will be active in trains on 10 crowded routes. This team will put a stop to the arbitrariness done by the vendors. Along with this, action will also be taken on selling goods at a higher price than MPRP.
Supervisors will be posted in trains
Managers are posted on behalf of IRCTC in premium trains. Supervisors will now be posted in some other important trains. This is being considered by the Ministry of Railways. These steps have been taken in view of the fact that people do not face any kind of trouble while traveling during the holidays. Under the new change, rate cards will be placed on food boxes at an easily visible place.
Avoid overpricing by asking for the bill
Issuing suggestions for the passengers, it was said that overpricing can be avoided by asking for the bill. If there is any complaint related to quality and quantity then you can do it with the concerned authority. Due to increase in consumption of Rail Neer, 4 new plants are being set up by IRCTC. It will be allowed to sell water approved by the Railway Board in stations and trains.
Let us tell you that there were frequent complaints about over-pricing from the railway passengers. In the investigation, it was found that the vendors are charging Rs. 120 to Rs. 130 from the passengers for Rs. 80 plate. This recovery was being done from the passengers by adding paneer to the standard menu of the train. It also came to light that Rs.15 Rail Neer was being sold to passengers for Rs.20.
