There is no danger of hundreds of people being rendered unemployed who are running small catering units at railway stations as a result of implementation of New Catering Policy-2004 with effect from October 12, 2004. All the licencees whose present contracts have expired or are due to expire will be able to participate in the new tenders/selection through application against the existing and fresh licences, subject to eligibility criteria. Employment opportunities will not decrease as catering units are not being closed.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Railway Shri R. Velu in a written reply to a question from Smt. Savita Sharda in the Rajya Sabha today.
