The author’s post quickly went viral, people shared similar experiences and agreed that the charge of food is a real issue. One person wrote, “Yes, it is really complicated. The central government or railways have never been noticed it. Anyway, these caterrs do not know how to cook food, whether it is northern Indian or South Indian. If you have not tasted the worst food, experience it on the railway.”
