Department going to start packaged food again in trains
A lot changed with the introduction of Corona in March last year. During this, first the rail service and then many facilities provided by the railways stopped. In such a situation, now the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is going to start re-packaged food in trains. In March last year, due to Corona, IRCTC had stopped the facility of packaged food in trains. This facility will be started in trains for the first time in about 15 months during Corona. Packed food will be given in Tejas Express.
It is worth noting that IRCTC is preparing to run Tejas Express on both Delhi-Lucknow and Ahmedabad-Mumbai routes from next month. IRCTC has taken this decision to prevent corona infection. After the implementation of the lockdown in the country, the train service was completely stopped. However, trains resumed operations in May 2020, during which IRCTC then started providing ready-made meals in trains for the convenience of passengers, which come packed from factories.
Let us tell you that IRCTC is currently providing readymade food in about 1000 trains. However, in pre-Kovid times this number was around 2500. Gradually this number is increasing. IRCTC is going to start Tejas Express on both the routes from next month. These trains are ready to provide packed food. As before, food will be provided in both the trains keeping in mind the corona protocol.
According to IRCTC, booking of Tejas will also start soon. Although both the trains are private and are being operated by IRCTC hence the delivery of packed food is being started from these trains. Considering the response of the passengers to the packaged food in these trains, it can be introduced in other trains as well.
