On Monday, the saffron uniform of serving staff aboard Indian Railways’ Ramayana Express train was changed following objections from Hindu seers against their outfits. Hindu seers from the city of Ujjain had called the saffron uniform of Ramayana Express train staff an insult to the Hindu religion. They also threatened to block the train in Delhi on December 12 if the uniform was not changed, according to an IE report. The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), which runs the Ramayana Express train, in a statement informed that the dress of service staff is completely changed in the look of professional attire of service staff. Any inconvenience caused is regretted, the corporation added.
