MP man shares picture of a dead cockroach he found in a non-veg thali served on Vande Bharat Express, IRCTC responds to viral post.

The persistence of complaints regarding the ‘quality of food’ on Indian trains continues to resonate across social media platforms with disgruntled passengers airing their grievances about the subpar quality and questionable hygiene of the meals provided. In a recent incident, a passenger from Madhya Pradesh, travelling from Rani Kamlapati (RKMP) to Jabalpur Junction (JBP) on February 1, 2024, encountered a shocking discovery when he found a ‘dead cockroach’ in the meal served aboard the Rewa Vande Bharat Express (20173).

Turning to ‘X’ to voice his complaint, @iamdrkeshari shared images revealing the presence of the cockroach within the non-vegetarian thali that was part of his booked meal. Labelling the experience as nothing short of traumatic, the OP supplemented his post with an image of the complaint form he promptly filled out at Jabalpur station, detailing the contaminated food and providing pertinent personal information.

The post didn’t go unnoticed by the powers that be, as the IRCTC extended a formal apology to the aggrieved passenger via its official handle. Acknowledging the seriousness of the matter, they stated, “Sir, our sincere apology for the experience you had. The matter is viewed seriously, and the hefty penalty has been imposed on the concerned service provider. Moreover, monitoring has been strengthened at the source.”

Meanwhile, the comment section saw a mix of reactions, with some users finding humour in the situation due to the commonplace nature of such occurrences on Indian trains, leading them to be less alarmed and more amused by the lack of change. “That’s so traumatic. Imagine the pain the cockroach must have gone through,” remarked one user. Another quipped, “It was a Chicken recipe with a pinch of Cockroach,” while a third joked, “Don’t worry, they won’t charge you for extras.”
