Passenger Complains Of 'Yellow Paper' Inside Samosa Served On Train, IRCTC Responds
A passenger posted images of the "yellow paper" trapped inside Samosa served on a Mumbai-Lucknow train on Twitter on Sunday.
In a bizarre incident, a "yellow paper" was allegedly discovered inside a samosa provided by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), according to a passenger on a Mumbai-Lucknow train. Aji Kumar posted images of the "yellow paper" trapped inside the dish on Twitter on Sunday. It looked to be a piece of a wrapper that likely got mixed in with the food as it was being prepared.
Taking to Twitter, Kumar stated: "I am on the way to Lucknow today 9-10-22 I bought one Samosa to eat.. Some portions taken and lastly this is inside in it... Pls look the yellow paper inside somosa... Its served by the IRCTC pantry person in the Train No. 20921 Bandra Lucknow train.... Started train 8-10-22."
