Now you can see what’s 'cooking' in Rail kitchens live
New Delhi, June 15: Union Railway and coal minister Piyush Goyal likes to implement innovative ideas to bring transparency in the system.
In yet another move, the railway minister has decided to live-stream footage of railway’s ‘base kitchens’ to check cooks from cutting corners and serving poor quality food, a commonplace complaint.
Speaking to the reporters Goyal said that passengers can go to the IRCTC website and watch the live stream. We will develop an app so that passengers can keep an eye on the kitchen while travelling.
So far, cameras have been installed in 16 of the 200 base kitchens of IRCTC, the main caterer for the railways. These include kitchens in Delhi, Mumbai and Bhubaneswar.
Railways Minister also said that a mobile app will also be developed so that passengers travelling in a train can see how food is being cooked in the kitchen. The move has been initiated to keep a check on how the food is cooked.
According to the report, the system implemented by the Indian Railways has the capability to track any discrepancy in the kitchen. While it will help in checking the uniforms worn by kitchen staff members, it will also detect rodents and mopping across kitchens.

Delhi airport: 9 flights diverted due to bad weather
New Delhi (PTI): Nine flights were diverted and many flights were delayed at the Delhi airport on Monday due to bad weather conditions in the national capital, according to an official.
The official said eight flights were diverted to Jaipur and one to Dehradun.
The national capital is grappling with high pollution levels that has also resulted in lower visibility levels in various parts of the city.
The official said some of the pilots were not trained for CAT III operations due to which flights had to be diverted.
Broadly, CAT III trained pilots are allowed to take off or land planes at very low visibility conditions.
"Low visibility procedures are in progress at Delhi airport. All flight operations are at present normal," Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) said in a post on X early morning on Monday.
DIAL operates the Indira Gandhi International Airport, which handles around 1,400 flight movements daily.
It also advised passengers to contact the airlines concerned for updated flight information.
