Railway passengers will once again be able to order food during their journey. Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), the catering and ticketing arm of Indian Railways, has announced that it will resume e-catering services from February 1.
"The company will resume e-catering services at a selected number of stations (62 stations) in the first phase w.e.f. 1 February 2021 onwards," IRCTC said in a statement. The list of stations includes New Delhi, Howrah, Patna, Vijayawada and Ernakulam, among others.
Train operations were put on hold from March 22 last year to check the spread of coronavirus in the country. Later, passenger special trains were introduced on routes with high demand, but Indian Railways didn't resume serving food in trains. The Railway Ministry had allowed eateries and shops to operate on railway stations.
