Thane MP Naresh Mhaske has sought action from Central Railway over alleged hygiene violations at a canteen operating at Thane railway station. The complaint centers on claims of poor cleanliness standards and possible breaches of food safety rules.
According to the description of the case, the allegations include expired beverages and stale food being sold to passengers. The matter also refers to suspected violations linked to FSSAI norms, raising concerns about the quality and safety of items served at a busy public transport hub.
The issue puts the focus on food handling and vendor oversight at railway stations, where large numbers of commuters rely on canteens and stalls every day. Any lapse in hygiene or product quality can quickly become a wider public health concern, especially in high-footfall areas such as Thane station.
With the MP urging intervention, attention is now on whether railway authorities will inspect the canteen and determine if action is warranted. The development highlights continued scrutiny of passenger facilities and food safety standards across the rail network.
