Raju Mansinghka to Suresh Prabhu {{on f.b. ministry railways}}
sir railways is improving {.}
but on howrah to amritsar / haridwar trains need is 'pantry car' since due u.p.a-2 platform food supply stand handled by mafias ., and/or catering contractors i.e. putting some 1 lacs people out of job {.}
food...
more... prices raised by near 3 time ...qty down to 75% {.}
for example ''new delhi - sealdah duronto is ill-conceived timing . rajdhani serves snacks -soup-dinner-tea & b'fast {.} duronto for sealdah is having bad timing + faulty planning {.} at times ''fish'' or continental food is denied while same is consumed by pantry staffs . {.} let food choice be allowed at time of booking .
for near same time duronto need serve snacks after b'fast as in 80% of jouney it reaches at near 1.30 / 2 p.m. and b'fast at 8.30 a.m. makes the gap detrimental for diabetic people but planners do not think while lunch is at 12 noon {.}
stations should allow hot food vendors may be only with induction heating .
