And now, the Indian Railways has won several hearts after an onboard passenger shared details of how he was served iftar on the train unexpectedly.
I requested the pantryman to bring me a cup of tea a little late as I am fasting. Then, he confirmed by asking, aapka roza hai? I nodded and said yes. Later, someone else came with iftar.
As per an official, IRCTC serves Upwas Meals during Navratri. However, there’s no such service available during Ramzan.
Since being uploaded, the picture has gathered over 22.9K likes and 2213 retweets. This is how netizens reacted:
I think this iftar was arranged by some of pantry car man.Not by the Railway So Give your thanks to that person or team.Aisa kayi baar hua hai mere sath bhi.Pantry team mein bhi koi na koi Roza rakhe hue hote hai aur aise me woh Iftar ka arrangements personal level par karte hain

This small gesture would have definitely filled your heart more than it satiated your hunger. Kudos @Indianrailway18 https://t.co/uyXV0XQOWu
