Vande Bharat Updates: There is good news for the passengers traveling by Vande Bharat. The Railway Board said that if the passengers of Vande Bharat train do not choose any option of food during ticket booking, then they can also buy it in the train. In a circular issued to the Chairman and Managing Director of Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) on Friday, the Railway Board said, “In order to provide options and adequate catering facilities to the passengers who have ‘current booking’ (after the chart is prepared and before the train departs) and do not choose (food) option in Vande Bharat trains, the sale and service of food items in these trains can be restored by IRCTC again.
The circular said, “For passengers with current booking and those who have not opted for (meal), the option of cooked food (if available) may be restored, which will be in addition to the ‘Ready to Eat’ food option.” Railway officials said that a large number of passengers often complained that IRCTC employees do not provide them food even if they want to pay. The reason given for this was that they had not opted for this option during ticket booking.
A railway official said, “It often happens that you do not opt for ‘prepaid’ meals at the time of booking, but during the journey such circumstances arise that you want to buy food. In these cases, IRCTC staff refuse to give it to such passengers even after they pay.”
He said, “Now as a policy we have decided that even those passengers who have not opted for ‘prepaid’ food can buy quality food in the train.” In the board’s circular, IRCTC has been requested to take all necessary steps to provide good quality and hygienic food to the passengers in the train.
