IRCTC Food Hygiene: A live centipede was found in the food of a passenger in the executive lounge of New Delhi Railway Station. The question is how can common passengers trust IRCTC's food? ABP News talked to both the passenger and IRCTC on this entire matter and also investigated. When a passenger named Aryansh had food in the same VIP lounge of IRCTC located at New Delhi Railway Station, he found a live millipede in his raita, which is also called centipede.
The passenger also posted a photo of it on social media on the night of 21 October. We asked the passenger for his number on X and talked to him on this issue. He also sent his complaint to us.
Contradictory statement of IRCTC management
The incident took place at IRCTC Club Lounge on the afternoon of 8th September. Here we first saw the atmosphere and then talked to the passengers eating food. While eating, a passenger said that he comes here often and has never had any complaints. The food is good and so is the atmosphere.
After this we also saw the food and also asked the VIP lounge manager about the incident of that day. But the manager clearly denied that anything like this had happened. At first he admitted that yes, on September 8, there was some black substance in the soup of a passenger and also admitted that he had seen the related photo of Millet on X but then he retracted that he had not seen that person.
Action against contractor: IRCTC's official response
However, after knowing about our arrival, senior officials of IRCTC also came here and we talked to them also. Every day, more than 16 lakh passengers eat the food served by IRCTC by paying the price, after all, will IRCTC do anything to maintain the trust of these passengers? With these questions we reached the head of IRCTC i.e. CMD Sahib.
CMD Sanjay Kumar Jain said, “This incident has happened and we have taken immediate cognizance of it and have taken action against the concerned contractor. However, the passenger who complained on social media complained after about two months and that too He did not lodge a complaint on any proper platform but action was taken there itself when we asked him to give his number or PNR. When I messaged him on X, he did not send it.”
