Video shows train staff washing and reusing food containers
A video from the Erode-Jogbani Amrit Bharat Express (Train 16601) shows catering staff washing used disposable food containers at a passenger washbasin and preparing to reuse them.
Recently shared online, this clip quickly raised big questions about hygiene and food safety for travelers.
Swift action needed, but doesn't fix bigger issues
IRCTC responded by removing the vendor, hitting them with a heavy fine, and starting the process to cancel their license.
While swift action helps, this episode highlights ongoing problems—like overcrowding and concerns over cleanliness and service quality—that have been raised by passengers.
Passengers demand regular inspections, stricter hygiene checks
People on social media are worried about health risks from reused containers and are calling for stricter hygiene checks on trains.
Many want regular inspections so food safety rules actually mean something.
This story is a wake-up call for all of us
If you travel by train or care about public health standards, this story is a wake-up call.
It's not just about one vendor—it's a reminder that better oversight is needed to keep everyone safe while traveling.
