A viral video showing worms in food served onboard the Vande Bharat Express has sparked concerns over catering standards on premium railway services.
The complaint was raised by Ritesh Kumar Singh, who captured the issue on camera while travelling between Patna and Tatanagar. The video clearly showed worms in a bowl of curd, raising serious questions about food safety.
Railway officials promptly inspected the complaint onboard, but the incident had already drawn attention from fellow passengers and social media users. Many called for stricter checks and accountability.
In response, the Ministry of Railways announced penalties against Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation and the service provider, emphasizing that passenger safety remains a top priority.
