Train journeys are incomplete without listening to “Chai chai, garmagaram chai…idli wada sambhar lelo”. But what if you are served with an extra ingredient in your meal? There have been instances highlighting and condemning the poor quality of food served to passengers on railway trains, but a recent passenger pointed out that IRCTC lounges are no different.
A person named Aaraynsh was availing the food service at the IRCTC VIP Executive Lounge recently when he claimed to have found a centipede inside his raita cup. He was certainly disgusted on discovering the unexpected ingredient added to the dish.

This incident happened in one of the IRCTC VIP Executive Lounges, so you can imagine the quality in regular trains or pantry cars.
