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.
