00:00 Around 80 passengers aboard a Bharat Gaurav special train from Chennai complained of stomach

00:06 infections and other complications, possibly due to food poisoning, as the train was about

00:12 to reach Pune railway station late on Tuesday.

00:15 Rail officials at Pune station received information about the incident around 10.45 pm.

00:21 This train had been booked by a private party for a pilgrimage-related tour to Palatana

00:26 in Gujarat.

00:27 The Bharat Gaurav Yatra train coming from Chennai to Pune, the health of many passengers

00:31 suddenly deteriorated.

00:32 Upon investigation, it was revealed that the passengers suffered from food poisoning.

00:38 The matter was brought to the notice of the Pune railway administration.

00:41 The train reached Pune railway station at midnight.

00:44 Immediately, the staff and doctors of Sasoon Hospital rushed to the railway station for

00:49 treatment.

00:50 First-day treatment was given to the passengers on the railway station itself.

00:54 The train carried roughly 1,000 passengers.

00:56 We were informed that many passengers experienced dizziness, abdominal pain, vomiting and loose

01:02 motions.

01:03 In response, a team of doctors from the railway hospital, along with doctors from Ruby Hall

01:07 and other railway officials were sent to Pune station to provide medical assistance, said

01:12 Ramdas Bhise, the divisional commercial manager and PRO of the Pune Railway Division.

01:17 Officials stated that the train was thoroughly checked before departure.

01:21 There was no pantry facility on the train.

01:23 It was reported that passengers received food at Wadi railway station, approximately 180

01:27 km from Solapur.

01:28 We are trying to ascertain the source of the food as some sources mentioned that donations

01:33 in the form of food were also received by the passengers.

01:37 As of now, we know that the food wasn't provided by the railways.

01:40 However, further investigations are ongoing and officials are informed.

01:44 The condition of the passengers is stable and none of the passengers are hospitalized.

01:50 The railway administration has given instructions to investigate this matter.

01:53 The quality of food in railways is always questioned.

01:56 Removal of catering facilities, pantry cars and long-distance trains deprives people of

02:01 fresh food.

02:02 Therefore, passengers have to take food at the station in between.

02:05 The quality of this food is moderate, thereby increasing the chances of such incidents happening

02:10 in the future.
