The IRCTC NSE 2.03 % on Monday tied up with the Sattvik Council of India to get certified in the process of cooking, transportation and storage of vegetarian food specially on board trains to religious sites with the Railways’ catering arm inviting a third party audit of its base kitchens where such food is cooked to ensure a vegetarian environment.
Officials said that the move was to ensure pure vegetarian food is not only served to those passengers who want it, but also to ensure that the process of preparing the meals is “sattvik”.
