TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ In a relief for people travelling long distances, the Indian Railways is set to resume serving cooked meals on trains, a service which was discontinued in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The order from the railway board issued on Friday comes amid the resumption of regular services by the national transporter earlier this month. The railway board, in a letter to the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, has asked for the resumption of the service. It also said that ready-to-eat meals will continue to be served to passengers.
“In view of the restoration of normal train services, requirements of travelling passengers and easing of COVID lockdown restrictions in eateries, restaurants, hotels and such other places across the country, it has been decided by the Ministry of Railways to resume the services of cooked food in trains. Service of ready-to-eat meals will also continue,” the letter stated.
