Probably Rajdhani, shatabdi, Duronto is the only trains where there is no overcharging. Irctc should have a portal in Ecatering to book pantry food from a standardized menu. Prepaid or cash receipt based is the only way to stop overcharging

wow just great
Great Work sir, kudos to you for this wonderful and motivational work. Today in this age of Information-technology anyone could bring a revolution just using his Smart phone. This ''Let it go'' attitude will only increase corruption, nothing more. Let me share an incident with you all, I was traveling in 12557 From MFP to ANVT, when I bought a water bottle from the Pantry vendor he handed over me a 1 lit ''Daabh" company's water bottle and when I asked about the price he told me that it's Rs. 20. I told him that first of all you are selling an authorized company's water bottle instead of Rail Neer and then you r charging Rs. 20 for this. Soon he presumed that I am not going to be deceived so he called his manager, the Pantry manager showed me a letter released by SEE Division that Whenever Rail Neer isn't...

available Daabh and somewhat other companies like Kinley and Aquafina could be sold in SEE Division's trains so this issue got resolved then I asked him that you are charging Rs. 20 for this though the approved price for it's sale is Rs. 15 only to which he replied and I got quite astonished to hear that, he said ''Rs. 5 is the chilling charge". I just picked out my phone and started to shot him and told him to repeat once again what he had just said infront of camera. vendor whispered in his ears, '' na jaane kisse pala per gaya hai, AC me chlata hai or 5 rupiya k liye itna halla ker raha hai". Manager gently told me, ''Sir app 15 dejiye". I handed over Rs. 15 to him and took my water bottle. When both of them left an Aunty sitting on the adjacent Side lower berth asked me, ''Aap AC se first time travel ker rahe hai? 5 rupiya k liye kya itna jhanjhat kerna" to which I replied, ''Ji Aunty, hum 1st time hi AC me travel ker rahe hai, kaafi saadharan aadmi hai hum or humare liye 5 rupiya bahoot maiyene rekhta hai". Aunty smiled after hearing that and I was smiling on her attitude towards tolerating corruption.

I hv always been a strong opposer of corruption n this sort of posts or the work done by the passenger of 13281 is strongly supported by me. Kyuki aaj k generation me paise ki keemat bht aham h aur usse v jyada imp h genuinity. Aap kitne genuine ho ye srf aapke actions hi provd kr skte h naki aapke posts. I m very big fan of Poorva exp bt I didn't even shy away frm tweeting abt the unauthorized water bottles in the trn at a higher price n even tea was given with biscuits citing the reason "CHHUTTA NHI H". Even I argued wid d pantry staff. He told me to talk to pantry manager bt I could not go upto PC coz d trn was completely packed n I had my coach at dead front (S1). I had to purchase dat bottle only coz I had my...

mom travelling wid me n der was no big stn till PNBE after CRJ (where I got Rail neer bottles frm d stn shops) n dat too coz dat day the loco of 12303 failed due to cattle run near CRJ n d trn waz halted for nearly 2 hrs der. Dat gave me tym. Otherwise, I wud hv to purchase unauthorized bottles frm the pantry staff. When trn arrived PNBE, I ran to the shop just to purchase Rail neer. If u r paying d amount, u should get value for money. Jo galat h wo galat h. Even in 12394, I fought wid the pantry staff for the horrible service n d quality of food provided.

* Almost 99% of us often knowingly pay more than the approved tariff during the journey, and bow our heads before the corrupt person.
* Hats off to Mr. Neelabh Khanikar has fought and won a war against the biggest enemy of our nation, i.e. corruption! Such news encourage the public to fight against corruption instead of taking it for granted.
* Since the amount involved is small, most of the people are shy of agrument. But it should be borne in mind, corruption is a corruption, small or big. Corruption is

like a cancer, if corruption is not nipped in bud when small, it will grow into a bigger one which is difficult to bear. Most of the veg. meals are served onboard by official pantry staff/contractor at Rs 90-120 instead Rs 55/-.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
