Railway catering, by contractors, in the moving train are becoming very expensive. For tea they are charging Rs 10 against Rs 7 fixed by railways. For vegetarian thali they are charging Rs 120 as against Rs 40 fixed by railways. On questioning, the standard answer given is, they are giving additional vegetable and jeera rice. I saw this racket happening in front of TTE's presence on Dadar Chennai Egmore express on 15th july 2015, while running betwean sho;apur and gooty and beyond. Items sold in the road side stations are also priced differently from the rates declared by railways. I think the catering contractors are brazenly looting the hapless travellers
