Railway officials caught staff at food stalls overcharging passengers by Rs 2-3 more on items such as samosas, beverages and mineral water
After receiving scores of complaints about overcharging by stall vendors on platforms, officials from the Central Railway (CR) conducted a special drive to verify the costs being charged and found that out of 100 stalls surveyed, 32 stalls were found overcharging customers.

Checks were carried out mainly at CST, Byculla, Dadar, Kurla, Kurla Terminus, Ghatkopar, Thane and Kalyan and the errant stalls were asked to shut down and were allowed to reopen after the staff member caught overcharging was removed. Representation pic
