A passenger on the Puri-Howrah Shatabdi Express fell ill on finding a cockroach in a packet of chicken biryani served to him on the train on Friday.

Pinaki Saha, a resident of Nagendra Nath Road near Nagerbazar, lodged a complaint with the IRCTC after reaching Howrah. A probe has been ordered.

“I opened the biryani packet and found a dead cockroach next to the chicken piece. On seeing it, I fell ill and threw up. Other passengers, too, could not have their food. IRCTC should take immediate action against the caterer,” said Saha (39), travelling in a large group in C2 coach.

While IRCTC in Bhubaneswar is responsible for the food served on Puri-Howrah Shatabdi Express, Debashis Chandra, group general manager (east), has sought a report from the on duty supervisor. Passengers have complained about the quality and quantity of food on Shatabdis in this region.

“We attended to the passengers on Friday and served them fruit and dry food at Howrah station. It doesn’t seem the cockroach was cooked with the food. It might have had entered the packet when the food was being warmed on the train after being loaded at Balasore. Action will be taken,” Chandra said.
