Stale food served in Rajdhani leads to protest

Some of the passengers lodged a written complaint with the Eastern Railway authorities after the train reached Sealdah later in the day, ER spokesperson R N Mohapatra said.

“An enquiry has been ordered into the complaint and action will be taken against the food supplier if the allegation of serving stale and cold food was found to be true,” he said.

The passengers claimed that the food served for dinner were stale and that bad smell emanated from some food packets.

Some of the elderly passengers who had consumed the food had complained of stomach upset and vomiting, they claimed.
