HC asks Railways why no other brand of water available at railway stations

Mumbai, Jan 6 (UNI) The Bombay High Court today asked the Railways why sale of only one brand of mineral water is permitted at railway stations where different brands and varieties of food are available.
This observation was made by a division bench, headed by Justice N H Patil, during the hearing of a public interest litigation by commuter Lopesh Vora, challenging a circular issued by railway authorities last year directing contractors and caterers having stalls on platforms and railway stations to stock and sell only 'Rail Neer' packaged drinking water supplied by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).
Mr Vora in his petition claimed that a commuter should have the right to choose which brand of water he or she wants to buy and consume.
There is no row at position 0.
