TSRTC to spice up food menu at canteens
The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has decided to clean up the canteens at bus station following complaints against low-quality food and lack of maintenance at its eateries.
Hyderabad: The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has decided to clean up the canteens at bus station following complaints against low-quality food and lack of maintenance at its eateries.
According to senior officials in the TSRTC, there are 350 bus stations in the State and the canteen facility is available only at five major and 125 other stations.
The officials told The Hans India that a committee was formed to look into the complaints, inquire into the allegations and suggest corrective measures for improving the quality of food items at canteens.
Quality food should be served to the passengers who are travelling in the RTC buses and also the visitors to the bus stations, the official added.
The committee gave a report to the TSRTC management with a set of recommendations and corrective measures to improve the quality of the food. The committee had recommended that the canteen owners should be members of the Hoteliers’ Association.
The canteen licence would now be given only to the person who is a member in the local hoteliers’ association. This step was taken to make the canteen owners accountable, said the official. The canteen owners were asked to maintain the good ambience for the visitors.
The committee also wanted the officials to have regular check on the canteens to ensure they serve good-quality food to customers.
It may be mentioned here that to provide good-quality food, the TSRTC had some time ago started ‘Meals on Board’ facility for the passengers.
The passengers were provided branded food on booking over phone and the food was delivered in the bus before or during the journey.
However, this could not get the desired results as there was no provision for eating the food inside the buses like in the case of trains.
