Let me show you a video of how exactly that food is made,” the man stated in the reel.The clip then moved onto the man showing the train’s 'food compartment'.

Internet’s reactions: “I don't eat anything in train or platform better hai bhuke raho (it’s better to stay hungry) but don't eat railway food,” a user said. “@fssai_safefood @fssai_group_of_india @irtc_official please investigate and start taking action in all the Indian Railways catering dept,” commented the next person. “What's the point of a wooden spoon but food is hot in plastic ,easily it can be replaced by thermocol or aluminium boxes. I have stopped eating long back because it doesn't taste so good. My home’s dry roti is much better than his hazardous food,” added another person.
