New Delhi, June 28 -- A budget meal offered by Indian Railways for just Rs.15 is going viral on social media, drawing both praise and criticism. The Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), in collaboration with Indian Railways, introduced the affordable 'Janata Khana' last year to cater especially to passengers travelling in general class coaches. The initiative aims to provide hygienic and filling meals at low cost.

The Rs.15 meal includes seven pooris served with bhaji and a small portion of pickle. For Rs.20, passengers also receive a 300ml bottle of water along with the same meal. A video shared on X (formerly Twitter) shows the meal being served, and has garnered over 800,000 views so far.
