While the developed countries are moving from the wastage of bottled and packaged water towards urging customers to demand clean tap water, the Indian Railway Minister who has been much feted for his managerial experience in the Indian Railways, is, it seems bent on reintroducing forcibly, branded and packaged water for Indian premium travellers travelling on prime Indian trains. What a tragedy of wisdom from the same minister, who once was all in favour of earthen cups for tea to be served on railway platforms - kulhad.
A report in Hindustan Times :
PATNA: When the food served to railway minister Lalu Prasad on a special train during his recent visit to Karnataka left a bitter taste in his mouth, the minister summarily transferred at least three railway officials.
Here's an update on the episode: the Railway Board has decided to supply branded food on trains.
Sources said the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation has been asked to chalk out details and implement the decision at the earliest - on premier trains, to begin with.
Rail Neer will no longer be available in Rajdhani Express and Shatabdi Express trains as there is a proposal to provide branded mineral water with the meal to the passengers.
