As the festive season begins, IRCTC's VIKALP scheme comes as a much-needed relief for train passengers struggling to get confirmed tickets. This initiative provides an alternative train option for passengers who are unable to get confirmed seats with their original booking. Although it doesn't guarantee a confirmed berth, VIKALP ensures no additional charges for the passenger and allows them to select up to seven alternate trains.
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has denied rumours about 'Halal-certified' food being served on trains, after a video went viral on social media. The video shows a passenger questioning railway staff about the certification during the month of Sawan, a sacred period in the Hindu calendar. This is not the first time IRCTC has clarified about the video, as they had previously addressed it in July 2023. The corporation has stated that they require only FSSAI compliance for its catering units.
