Pantry Car Provision:
What are the norms for providing pantry car/catering? Why some trains though running for nearly 24 hours do not have it? Eg Mys-Sainagar exp.There are many.Hope IR will consider providing the same for long distance trains.Passengers will find it OK to eat rail food.IRCTC will also earn more

Its a sorry state of affairs. What could be done to help the poor passengers?
It is real hell for diabetics going without food[Yes,they will have sweets to avoid going low on blood sugar].Atleast they should provide for Milk,Sugar,Fruits etc

Roshan,
I don't think there is anything serious or worrisome n what you observed. Initially it does look like something is wrong, but let us look at it a bit differently. We know the whole thing is under a contract. Therefore, if there is a theft happening it is the Pantry Manager cheating the Owner. His job is at stake and he wont do it so openly.
