The Railway Board of India has officially stated that there is no policy mandating the serving of Halal-certified meals on its trains. This announcement follows a notice from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) regarding a complaint that alleged Indian Railways provides only Halal-processed meat in its non-vegetarian meals. Officials confirmed that Indian Railways adheres to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) guidelines for food services. They emphasized that no official provision exists for Halal certification. The issue was also discussed in a recent meeting with the Chief Information Commission (CIC), where it was confirmed that no records or policies related to Halal certification are maintained by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC). Railway officials reiterated their commitment to high food safety standards onboard.
