JAMMU, July 7: With use of LPG gas completely banned in the Jammu railway station, the railway authorities have warned the vendors not to use the cooking gas for preparation of food and instead use hot cases to store food.

It is pertinent to mention here that as part of the new plans to make railway stations congestion free as well as safe and secure and avoid any fire incidents, the step has been taken with directions from Northern Railway.
Last month, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) had handed over all the catering services to Indian Railways and in order to ensure proper hygiene and food quality standards, it was decided that all railway stations would be made cooking gas free.

Talking to TNI, Divisional Traffic Manager (DTM) R N Meena said that all stall owners at railway station had already been communicated that they were required to stop the use of LPG cylinders for cooking purposes at the railway station.

He said that if the vendors required prior cooking of eatables, then they would be allotted sites away from the platform in railway base kitchen but close to the station.

“The instructions were issued late last month and they were told to purchase hot cases for food items. This is being done to ensure the quality of food items as well as to minimize any risk to passengers and visitors from potential accidents caused by any fire-related incident”, he added.

The railway vendors angry which step taken by the railway authorities. A vendor Raju said the delegation of vendors association to meet with the station superintendent of railway station. They have not happy for this decision, that new instruction would be extra burden on poor vendors.
