Railways denies policy on Halal-certified meals onboard after NHRC notice

The Railway Board on Wednesday clarified that there is no official rule or provision mandating the serving of Halal-certified food on Indian Railways. The statement came in response to a notice issued by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) concerning a complaint that alleged Indian Railways provides only halal-processed meat in non-vegetarian meals, leading to discrimination and potential human-rights violations.
