Title - Vendors on train continue overcharging meals

Although railway ministry tweeted the actual meal rate list for passengers travelling on train but private vendors continue to overcharge unaware passengers for meals which are bad in quality during journey.

IRCTC has hired private vendors to serve meal on trains to passengers. Passengers often accuse of vendors for overcharging meals provided to them.

"I have been travelling for the last five years but never paid less than Rs100." The official charge for the vegetarian food is Rs50. In Gitanjali (train no. 12859/60) and Azad Hind (12129/30), the passengers have to cough up Rs 150 and Rs 180 for veg and non-veg food. Said a passenger.

Jeet Singh, a resident of Nashik travelling on 18029 LTT—Shalimar Express via Nagpur said, "I paid Rs 100 for a vegetarian meal."
