The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is all set to promote vegetarian-friendly travel in some of its trains, with the aim of getting “sattvik certified” soon. This will be implemented in trains that mostly connect religious sites, the Sattvik Council of India said in a release.

The Sattvik Council of India has issued a release in this regard, stating that several of the trains run by IRCTC will be converted into ‘pure vegetarian’ to facilitate vegetarian-friendly travel. No one from IRCTC has commented on this news yet.

In its official press release, the Sattvik Council of India mentioned that it has tied up with the IRCTC to introduce services that fit the requirements of vegetarians and to promote vegan-friendly travel to holy destinations. No official time frame for its implementation has been issued yet.

The release further said that the Vande Bharat Express of the IRCTC that runs from Delhi to Katra will be certified as ‘sattvik’. This most likely means that there will be no non-vegetarian options for travelers when it comes to the meals offered by IRCTC on this train.

The Sattvik Council of India further said in its release that it will launch the ‘sattvik’ certification scheme along with IRCTC on Monday. It will also develop a handbook of vegetarian kitchens jointly with the IRCTC, mostly for trains traveling to religious destinations.

IRCTC has entered into an understanding with the Sattvik Council of India, as per the release, and it has decided to seek certification for some of the trains that travel to religious and pilgrimage destinations such as the Vande Bharat Express, which runs from Delhi to Katra.

The release also stated that this will be implemented across 18 trains run by the IRCTC. “IRCTC base kitchens, executive lounges, budget hotels, food plazas, travel and tour packages, Rail Neer plants will be ‘sattvik’ certified to ensure “vegetarian-friendly travel,” it said.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
