"The Committee are further unable to comprehend the reasons as to why 103 pantry cars were manufactured by Integral Coach Factory, during April 2011 to March 2016 with provision for centralised-LPG cylinders with open flame instead of providing electric power equipment panel counters despite the provision in Catering Policy 2010 for progressive switch over from gas burners to electric power equipment in pantry cars," the report said. The committee also recommended the ministry, IRCTC and zonal railways to undertake a joint review of operations every five years, as it accused the ministry of being "evasive" in its reply on the review blueprint. The report also sought railways' response on the number of ICF coaches currently in operation and its plans to formulate a cost-effective plan to expeditiously replace them with LHB – Linke-Hofmann-Busch – coaches. The committee said it was "dismayed" to see ministry failing to address issues of food quality, hygiene and cleanliness.
