At least 20 passengers of the New Delhi-Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express fell ill on Sunday allegedly due to food poisoning.
The passengers complained of uneasiness, stomachache, vomiting and loose motion after consuming the food served by the Railways on Saturday night. The passengers were provided medical aid after the train stopped at the Bokaro station on the day. Some irate passengers also created ruckus at the station, following which railway officials reached the spot and pacified them. The train resumed journey after remaining stationed at Bokaro for an hour. Condition of the passengers is stated to be stable now.
“The pantry car is being checked and food samples were collected to investigate the quality of food,” said a railway spokesperson.
