Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] — Catering

This is an incident i would like to describe when i was travelling from delhi to bengaluru in Karnatak Samparkranti express.
i saw the food being thrown out on tracks from the train after the lunch was over.
i was asleep so went to pantry to get some food then i saw this.the worker threw about 50-70 packets in front of me.
as i was hungry i asked for one instead of throwing, paid for it. asked to save one for later till i finish the one i took.he instead threw all of them, it was feasible for him to throw all instead giving it to me.
i walked to the manager and asked why the food is being thrown, on which he said that they do not serve the same food in next meal.
i asked them why they dont distribute those packets to poors instead of throwing, he said that we are not supposed to do that.
so being a person who saw the food being thrown in a country where many people do not get a chance to have even single meal in a day, was very upsetting.
this is really a shame of wasting food for indian railway catering, as it was just an example of one train so we can imagine how much food is being wasted on a daily basis.
i would request you to please take this complaint seriously and stop this being done.
"MONEY IS OURS BUT THE RESOURCES ARE LESS"
this can be prevented in many ways..
- cooking the food on pre order basis.
- forwarding the left over food at next railway stations and collecting them and distributing to poors.
- i[censored] dont want to do the above you can distribute to passengers at half cost, they will be happy to have it.
and i am sure there will be a lot more sugesstions that you will get to use that left over food when u take this seriously.

please everyone this is really not good and should not be happeneing.
wasting food is a shame.please do something about this.
