The post soon caught the attention of Rail Seva, an account to provide support to railway users and Northern Railway as well.
In a reply, Rail Seva asked Mr Topkar to share the details of his travel and Northern Railway tagged Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) as well.
IRCTC responded to the incident promptly. The officials issued an apology for the unpleasant experience. "Sir, our sincere apology for the inconvenience caused. The matter was immediately attended by the onboard supervisor who replaced the curd immediately. Further, the curd pack was within the expiry date. The issue is being raised with the manufacturer," IRCTC wrote on X.
