Indian Railways is set to restart its catering and other passenger amenities in trains. As per reports, IRCTC sources have claimed that Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav will convene a meeting next week wherein a decision regarding the resumption of services related to served food, base kitchen, on-board kitchen, bed rolls and blanket, might be taken.
Since March 2020, in lieu of Covid-19 pandemic, the railways had suspended e-catering and other services, such as providing bedrolls, blankets, etc. After a long time, in August 2021, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Cooperation (IRCTC) resumed the E-catering services.
