Chaddi corruption: Railway catering scam Empty Chaddi corruption: Railway catering scam

Post by Guest Wed May 03, 2017 2:43 pm

A recent application filed as a second appeal under the Right to Information (RTI) Act by an activist has revealed that the Central Railway's catering department purchased certain food items to stock their warehouses at several times the maximum retail price.

After railway authorities failed to share information on purchase of food items sought in his RTI application, activist Ajay Bose filed a first appeal. The response to this revealed that each kg of Amul curd was purchased at an eye-watering ₹9,720. Mr. Bose filed his query after learning that the catering department was running at a huge loss...

As per the reply, other commodities procured by the railways included 58 litres of refined oil for ₹72,034 in March 2016, or a litre of refined oil for ₹1,241. It also bought 150 packets of Tata Salt for ₹2,670, or ₹49 a packet instead of its then MRP of ₹15, water bottles and soft drinks were for ₹59 a bottle.
