Rake Update: I found No Pantry car for a good 33 hrs duration of my journey this train on 28th Feb from YPR to ET... There was limited catering available by the platform vendors when the train stopped at stations enroute..There was no IRCTC full time catering available.

precisely my point. many long distance trains which have a non-stop run of 300-400 km. If train gets late due to some inevitable reason, not having a PC attached can be a big issue

Again there may be an argument that base kitchens will be more in number once commissioned, but how hygiene and clean they will be is question? also if train runs continuously for long distance, just to load food, they may have to stop.

In railway they have a specific word " Train Side Vending" for trains not having PC but have authorized onboard vending system.
Here it was suggested to use another term for catering which is very wide meaning and confusing word.

    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...
