The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) said, "It is to inform that the dress of service staff is completely changed in the look of professional attire of service staff."
Bowing to protest by seers in Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, the IRCTC on Monday evening said it will change the saffron attire of waiters on board the Ramayan Express, which had invited the ire of a section of sadhus.
The seers, earlier in the day, had taken strong objection to the saffron attire of waiters on board the IRCTC-operated Ramayan Express and dubbed it as an "insult" to Hindu religion.
They had threatened to stop the train in Delhi on December 12 if the dress code was not withdrawn.
“We have written a letter two days back to the Union Railway Minister lodging our protest against waiters in saffron serving refreshments and food in the Ramayan Express.
