The pantry car operator of the LTT-Madgaon train has been fined Rs 25,000 by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation after a video of rats nibbling on food in the coach went viral on social media.
IRCTC had blamed CR for the issue, claiming that the yard at LTT is infested with rats. IRCTC has imposed a penalty of Rs 25,000 as the pantry car operator had kept the utensils uncovered and did not store food properly.
A senior official has confirmed that the contractor has been warned for such an action and a fine has been imposed.
