There is no price chart available in the coaches, for which the passengers are not getting the correct price for items by caterers providing food, water, snacks. Some examples are:

water bottle is charged for rs.20/- (instead of rs.15/-)
tea is charged for rs.10/- (instead of rs.7/-)
frooti charges for rs.20/-(instead of rs.15/-)
veg meals are provided for rs.120/-

hence it is earnestly requested...

Pnr-[protected], train no.:12958, dt:[protected], from ndls to adi, class:2a, seat no. A5, 43
I had asked for boiled veg food, the caterer took order thrice and in the end at 10:00 pm, refused to serve such meals and made me go hungry.
I am still in the train, it is 8:00 am and no tea is served.
These new caterers are not properly trained and can not maintain quality service in such premium trains also.

Problem is not suspending my account, but my account had a e-wallet deposit balance which, they should have refunded to me immediately. It is grossly unfair, suspending my account, immediately...
