Passenger finds cockroach in meal served on Bhopal-Delhi Vande Bharat Express, railway responds

Carrying your own food during a train journey is common in India, as the quality of food served by the Indian Railways is not always top-notch. However, one passenger was left shocked after finding a cockroach in his meal on the Vande Bharat Express.

The passenger, who was traveling from Bhopal to Gwalior, took to Twitter to share images of the cockroach-infested food. The images, depicting a small cockroach embedded in one of the rotis, quickly went viral, sparking outrage among social media users.

The Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), which is responsible for catering on trains, responded to the complaint and apologised for the incident. IRCTC said that it would take "appropriate actions" to ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
