FOOD AT REASONABLE PRICES ON RAILWAYS


LOK SABHA

The sale prices of food items are fixed uniformly for departmental and private licensee. During the last four years there has been an increase of sale price of standard meals in June 1999 and an increase of price of tea/coffee in September 2000. However, the tariff of a-la-carte items are fixed on the zonal railways and reviewed from time to time.

This information was given by the Minister for Railways Shri Nitish Kumar in a written reply to a question from Shri Gajendra Singh Rajukhedi in the Lok Sabha today.
