IRCTC senior public relations officer (PRO) A K Jha has informed that the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is likely to restart e-catering services from the first week of February this year.
The service would start at 57 stations, including Patna Junction.
Jha said in addition to pantry car services, the IRCTC had started e-catering facilities in 2014 to provide quality food and regional delicacies to the passengers. The e-catering services, however, were suspended from March 22 last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the IRCTC had started supplying ready-to-eat food packets to passengers in selected special passenger trains.
“The need to restart e-catering services was felt as more than a hundred pairs of special passenger trains are now either originating from or passing through different places of the East Central Railway,” Jha said, adding the e-catering services will start from 30 stations, including Patna Junction, in the first phase and it will be extended to the remaining stations later on.
Jha said passengers can avail of e-catering services by placing orders on www.ecatering irctc.com or dialling 1323.
