Cooked food again
A circular has been issued by the Railway Board regarding this decision. It has been told that soon the railways will again start serving cooked food in trains. Apart from this, ready-to-eat food will also be available. IRCTC has started its preparation for the time being and gradually this service will be started in a phased manner.
The circular states that in view of the resumption of normal train service, the needs of traveling passengers and easing of Kovid lockdown restrictions at restaurants, hotels and such other places across the country, the Ministry of Railways has decided to stop the service of cooked food in trains. It has been decided to start again. Apart from this, ready-to-eat service will also continue.
Our partner website Zee Business had first reported on October 14 that normal catering service would be resumed after the festivals. However, no decision has yet been taken on the bedrolls and concessions available in many categories in trains.
