Expired food and improper waste disposal at a catering unit supplying the Indian Railways have sparked significant concern. Health department officials discovered days-old food and violations like waste dumping into a canal.
The unit, Brandavan, lacks a necessary corporation license and is subject to closure. Previous fines and warnings from local authorities proved ineffective, as confirmed by a municipal councillor.
Amidst public complaints about foul odors, the unit's operation continued until the inspection. Allegations of misuse of Vande Bharat packaging worsened the scandal. Railways are investigating claims after news reports surfaced.
