\n<\/p>\n

Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh\u2019s wife, Anita Singh, has criticised the quality of food served on the Tejas Express, a premium train operated by Indian Railways. Calling it ‘utterly deplorable’, the wife of the Aam Aadmi Party leader expressed dissatisfaction with the food’s quality and accused Indian Railways of endangering passengers’ health.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Anita shared a picture of her in-train meal, criticising the catering. She alleged that the roti was \u201cas hard as papad,\u201d the paneer was stale, and the dal was watery. Tagging the Railway Ministry and Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in her post, she questioned the credibility of the railway’s \u2018world-class\u2019 service.<\/p>\n

\u201cPNR No 2338310371, the food served<\/a> on the Tejas Express was utterly deplorable. The roti was as hard as papad, the paneer was stale, and instead of dal, only water was served. Is this the railway’s \u201cworld-class\u201d service? Stop playing with passengers’ health! Honourable @AshwiniVaishnaw<\/a> ji, please take note. @RailMinIndia,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\nThe Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) responded quickly, noting that meals were examined before service and that no other passengers in her coach had complained. But they acknowledged the input and assured they would take proper action to resolve the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith reference to the feedback regarding catering services provided by you on 11\/07\/25 in the New Delhi-Lucknow Tejas Express train, we wish to inform you that the quality of the food is checked before serving, and no complaints in this regard have been received from other passengers in the said coach; rather, the catering has generally been appreciated,\u201d the IRCTC wrote.
\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe catering team available on the train attended to you and also offered a replacement meal. Nevertheless, taking your feedback seriously and to further strengthen the quality, a senior official has been appointed to ensure compliance with all standards, and appropriate guidelines will be ensured accordingly,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

This incident soon led to a heated conversation online about the food quality on premium trains, with some people sharing similar experiences while many defended the railway’s efforts to maintain standards.<\/p>\n

A user commented, \u201cHow to make bad food, for that IRCTC and railway platforms are excellent examples, travel across India and you won\u2019t find 10 stations or five trains where you can eat the food wholeheartedly.”<\/p>\n

\u201cUnsatisfactory response by the Railways. This is not the first time concerns have been raised about food quality, mismanagement, and even misbehaviour by pantry staff. Immediate action against the vendor is needed,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can’t get 5 stars, madam. If you’re so health-conscious, bring food from home. Were you exploring food on the train? Let the railways focus on train timings, staff behaviour, and safety-related work. Thank you,\u201d a user posted.<\/p>\n

This was not the first time a passenger expressed concerns about catering on Indian trains. In a similar incident last year, a passenger on the Mumbai-bound Tejas Express expressed shock after discovering a worm in the upma given to him on the train.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
