High Court dismisses PIL on food in trains

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Accepting a slew of measures taken by the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to improve the quality of food served aboard trains and cleanliness in the pantry cars, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday disposed of a public interest litigation accusing IRCTC of supplying unhygienic food to the passengers.

In an affidavit, the Corporation informed the Court that it had deployed 58 quality control professionals having diploma/degree in hospitality with two years’ experience and that their number would be increased to 500.

Professionals deployed

These professionals would be deployed on a rotational basis and would have the power to supervise the catering services and the cleanliness of the kitchens. The Corporation had also engaged a private company to conduct food and cleanliness audit and public sector company RITES would grant ISO certification for the catering services after an assessment, the affidavit said.
