Vande Bharat sleeper now serves chicken meals: Here's why
India
After launching with only vegetarian food, the Vande Bharat Sleeper Express (Howrah-Kamakhya route) now offers chicken-based non-vegetarian meals.
The change comes after political leaders and passengers called out the absence of non-vegetarian options on board.
Why the change?
Food on trains is a big deal for many travelers—especially in regions where non-veg is part of daily life.
The original menu focused on local favorites like basanti pulao and sandesh but omitted non-vegetarian items.
Now, thanks to public demand and a nudge from politicians, the menu feels more inclusive—and passengers seem pretty happy about it.
