Many online users are complaining that they are compelled to book meals with tickets on the IRCTC website. There are claims that the previously available 'No-Food' option is now inaccessible. Let's explore how you can still opt for the 'No-Food' choice.

What's the reality of this claim?

The social media platform Instagram has a video by The Lallantop explaining the situation: many users allege that they cannot find the 'No-Food' option while booking through the IRCTC site or app. This video unveils the truth.

Are railway travelers being forced to take meals?

The Lallantop on Instagram confirms that the option isn't in its usual spot, causing confusion among users. The interface modification by the railway is the reason behind this difficulty. The 'No-Food' option is now relocated lower on the website. This change is visible in the IRCTC app as well.
