In an express train of Indian Railways in Uttar Pradesh, a lizard was found inside the food from the canteen. This case is from Chandoli in Uttar Pradesh, India.

The young man who had a lizard in the food was traveling in the Porva Express. The person also tweeted the India's Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu about this. Before this, in its report, the CAG has clarified that 'the food is not suitable for human' and that the food found there is not suitable for food. It was said that the food is made from dirty water. Now people have critised the railway minister on social media. People are seeking answers.

In the Parliament on July 21, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) presented a startling report about the food served by the Railways. The CAG had disclosed in its report that the food of the railway is not suitable for humans to eat. It was said in the report that contaminated food items, recycled food and bins and bottled goods are also used after expiry date. In the inspection of 74 stations and 80 trains, the CAG found that while preparing the food, cleanliness is not given any attention. The CAG has also disclosed how cleanliness is not paid attention to the cooking of food. The impure water is used directly from the tap to prepare food or drinks.

During the inspection the lids of the dustbin were found missing and it was also found that their washing work was not done regularly. No cover is used to protect food from flies-insects. At the same time, there were cockroaches and mice in some trains. CAG has found in audit that due to frequent changes in the food policy of the Railways, passengers have very much problems.

Apart from this, the CAG had also presented a report about delayed superfast trains in its report. CAG has reported in the report that in the name of superfast surcharge, the railway receives crores of rupees from the customer, but some superfast train operations late more than 95% during the time. North Central Railway (NCR) and South Central Railway (SCR) recovered 11.17 crore rupees from the passengers in the name of Superfast surcharge, but these superfast trains late more than 95%.
