[Resolved]  Indian Railways — Bad Food on Rajdhani August Kranti

Indian Railways — Bad Food on August Kranti

I was travelling on the Rajdhani August Kranti Train on 03-06-09 from Mumbai to Delhi. The quality of food being served is pathetic. This is not only my opinion but the opinion of almost all the passengers. The dinner was ok. But the sandwiches served as Cheese Sandwich had a small piece of cheese which tasted more like panner. Also the qulaity of bread was poor. Most o[censored]s threw away the sandwiches.
Morning at breakfast time we were served idli and medu wada which had gone sour. When all o[censored]s complained the attendant said it was prepared just in the morning. We failed to understand that exactly on which morning it was prepared!!!
So we request the railways to kindly check with the contractor regarding the qualit of food and make immediate improvements to the same.

Respected Sir,

This complint is intented to invite the recoginition for good customer care.
I am Anish j 25yrs old..working as an Engineer in TELK (Kerala state govt under taken)
I am from Kerala ...I never travelled in any ac coaches of Indian railway...The criteria was the financial barrier nothing else...

On 29th evening from TVC i requested from the ticket counter for one Rajadhani ticket to ERS.As per their insruction i contact the information centre and get the vaccant seat number and submitted to ticket counter .He issued me ticket from TVC-ERS worth 254/-..And he didnt give any clue that rajadhani fare is different from ordinary train fare..

I was in a need to reach my office (TELK Angamally) before 12 midnight thats why i decided to pay this hefy amount.

Information peoples also didnt give previous message about the fare and they simply told "you can sit in any compartment'..


After getting in to the train..I got one bottle driking water and somee snacks to eat...A they are distributing to all with out any request i thought it would be the rajadhani custom so didnt asked about it.

When the Ticket examiner came i showed him the ticket...He didnt tell any think but tell to go and meet another TTE of B5..Then i went there to see the TTE...That i think as one of the worse day in my life..because the TTE behaved so rudely that if i were a thief or a scounter...He talked in an abusive manner...He pushed me back...and beat me also...What a drity nature...Dont he have the responsibility to treat me..At least as a citizen of India...I feel pitty on that TTE i dont remember his name but a sikh with Turban...What will railway do if he might have put out from the running train..IS there exist any morality with the railway.. Lets hope for a good behaviour from the TTE like fellows...I actually decided to file a suit aginst a that TTE under Human rights clause...He not only abused me but also my senior Engineer aged 49.

Its highly intolarable attitude from the railway in keeping such things there..

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SHARE A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE ABOUT BAD FOOD. THE FOOD SERVED IN RAJDHANI EXPRESS IS VERY BAD . I WENT WITHOUT FOOD FOR THE ENTIRE JOURNEY. THE RAILWAYS SHOULD PLEASE NOTE THE GRIEVENCES AND DO SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY OR SHOULD STOP CHARGING FOR THE FOOD AND ALLOW THE PASSENGERS TO MANAGE THEIR OWN FOOD.

No point in blaming . because we have to live with this problem for ever if we depend on the vendors for food and beverages while travelling.Best course is to pack some home made food for your travelling. and some packaged snacks, biscuits, fruits and avoid the food from unhyegenic, substandard and overpriced vendors, till such time we revive our old Indian Tradition when food that is wholesome and hygenic was distributed to travelling public free in Dharamshalas, choultries, Temples, running on philanthropy and public donation. It is high time we revive this system. Indian railways and State Bus Authorities should provide some kitchen and serving space in Bus stops/Ralway Stations to some local NGOs or Temple Authorities/Charitable Trusts like ISCON who can provide hygenically prepared simple Food like Khichdi/Pulav, Roti -Alu, etc and consumin g public may be encouraged to make their offering in cash to support such food distribution . Travelling public will certainly appreciate/support such venture and generously contribute.Poor people will also benefit.Practice of ANNA DAANA (Gift of Food) to hungry is considered a very sacred act in our culture and we should revive this culture by creating required Infrastructure/Eco-system with public participation and Government support

I was travelling with my wife on the Rajdhani August Kranti Train on 06-04-19 from Delhi to Mumbai. The quality of food being served is pathetic. This is not only my opinion but the opinion of almost all the passengers. But the Cutlet served with Bread and butter. I was eat the cutlet and surprise that the burned match box stick in side the cutlet and show another passenger and food manager / service man also shown the same and he took the cutlet piece and offering new Hot Cutlet with bread. I was denied the same because i was ometing in train and at our home and full day restless.

So we request the railways to kindly check with the contractor regarding the quality of food and make immediate improvements to the same.
