Once again a dead cockroach was found in the food of Vande Bharat train, this is the reaction of the railway

Vande Bharat has once again caught the internet’s attention over the quality of food being served to its passengers. A relative of an X user who was travelling from Bhopal to Agra shared a photo of the food served on the express train. It shows a dead cockroach in the daal. Sharing the post, Vidit Varshney also tagged Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, the Railway Ministry and the official X pages of IRCTC, asking them to “take strict action”. The note attached to the photo read, “Today 18-06-24 my uncle and aunt were travelling from Bhopal to Agra on Vande Bharat. They found a ‘cockroach’ in their food from @IRCTCofficial. Please take strict action against the vendor and ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

IRCTC’s official page was quick to react to the post in the comments section. IRCTC claimed that the responsible vendor will be punished with severe penalties. They said, “Sir, we apologize for the experience you had during your journey. The matter has been looked into seriously and appropriate penalty has been imposed on the concerned service provider. We have also intensified production and logistics monitoring.”

This is not the first time such an incident has happened. Earlier, a passenger travelling in Vande Bharat from Dehradun to Agra was served curd with “fungus” along with his meal. Passenger Harshad Topkar shared three photos of his meal on Instagram. The photo shows a packed juice box placed next to a half-eaten puri, ketchup sachets and some packed dishes. In the photo, we can also see a tub of mango flavoured curd with a greenish-white lump placed on top. Sharing the photo, Harshad wrote, “Today I was travelling in Vande Bharat in executive class from Dehradun to Anand Vihar. Found a green layer in the Amul curd served which was probably fungus. Did not expect this from Vande Bharat service.”

Once again, IRCTC apologized for the incident in the comments section. They wrote, “Sir, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. The matter was noticed by the onboard supervisor and the curd was replaced immediately. Moreover, the curd pack was within the expiry date. The issue is being taken up with the manufacturer.”
