Indian Railways Tightens Catering Checks, Expands AI Kitchen Monitoring

Indian Railways wants to make train food safer and better.

On Monday, Satish Kumar reviewed a room that monitors railway catering and passenger feedback.

Officials want to check kitchens and catering services more carefully.

They also want passengers’ Rail Madad complaints to reach the right teams faster.

Staff may speak directly with passengers to understand serious complaints.

More cameras will watch kitchens, including places where raw materials are stored.

Special cameras will give a wider view of kitchen activities.

Computers using AI can spot problems such as rodents and cockroaches.

Officials were told to act when these problems are found, and poorly performing inspection agencies may face action.
