Overview
- Ayushi Singh says she suffered a severe allergic reaction after the onboard lunch during her March 27 trip on Vande Bharat train 22500 in coach E1.
- She shared photos of a swollen face and a doctor's prescription, and she said her two-year-old son developed diarrhoea.
- IRCTC replied that the lunch served on that run was inspected and found satisfactory, and it said no other passengers complained that day.
- After the initial reply, IRCTC asked her to send her PNR and contact details by direct message to enable an inquiry, and Singh pushed back that she and her son ate only the train’s food and that the water tasted odd.
- The case follows a recent worms-in-curd incident on a Vande Bharat service that led to fines and a vendor’s contract being canceled, keeping food safety under the spotlight.
