IRCTC urged to introduce vegan food on train menu

CHENNAI: Mercy For Animals India Foundation has written to Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) urging it to introduce vegan food products on train menu to make travel comfortable for its vegan customers and take a step towards becoming a pro-health, climate-conscious company.
This move comes after Indian Railways announced the introduction of an all-vegetarian menu for the journey from Delhi to Katra on the Vande Bharat Express.
“Veganism has seen a sharp rise in India, with the number of vegans growing 360% in the past decade and with further growth projected,” said Nikunj Sharma, chief executive officer of Mercy For Animals India Foundation.
