Railway board nod to flameless cooking

MUMBAI: In a move aimed at ensuring uninterrupted onboard catering services, the Railway Board permitted the use of flameless cooking systems in pantry cars, allowing staff to prepare meals inside trains during the ongoing LPG supply constraints, reports Manthan K Mehta.

In a letter dated March 12, addressed to the Principal Chief Commercial Managers of all railway zones and the CMD of IRCTC, the Railway Board allowed the use of flameless cooking in pantry cars during emergency situations, subject to strict adherence to safety protocols.
