At present, more than 1600 trains are being operated across the country including Shatabdi, Rajdhani, Express, Mail. All these trains are being operated by giving the name of special train. This includes short and long distance trains. Providing food in all these station trains is the responsibility of Indian Railway’s PSU Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation. Due to Corona, according to the guide line of the Railway Board, ‘ready food’ is being given in all trains. Passengers have lodged a written complaint regarding this.
This is getting trouble
Those traveling by short distance trains are not facing much problem by eating ready-to-eat, but traveling in long distance trains i.e. 24 to 30 hours or more are facing problems. The reason is that passengers are not liking ‘ready food’ again and again for such a long distance and it is not possible to travel such a long distance by taking home cooked food. According to the information, due to non-availability of food in trains, outside vendors are selling food, due to which such complaints are coming.
