Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
Public Health Issue Alert 🚨
Travelling on Vande Bharat today (Allahabad → Delhi) and yesterday was travelling on Rajdhani (Delhi → Allahabad), I was served rotis/kachoris heated directly inside sealed plastic packaging. While at Rajdhani, I was hungry and so ate the hot Kachori almost instantly and then realised - wait, how can it be hot? Wasn’t it in a sealed packet? How could they heat the packet directly?
Then this repeated today and I couldn’t stop myself from inquiring -
The “Halka Phulka” roti packet clearly states:
• “Store in a cool & dry place”
• No mention of microwave/heating in-pack
• No “microwave safe” indication
Yet the packets are handed over visibly hot.
Lakhs of passengers can verify this - the rotis are served warm with the plastic pack heated.
The person in the train confirmed that rotis were being heated directly in the packet.
Food-grade plastic is not automatically heat-safe unless certified for microwave/steam use. Heating multilayer packaging without clear instructions can potentially increase chemical migration into food - especially when done repeatedly at scale.
This may be operational convenience.
But food safety should never rely on shortcuts.
Requesting @IRCTCofficial@RailMinIndia@AshwiniVaishnaw to clarify:
- Are these institutional packs certified for in-pack heating?
- If so, can that certification be publicly shared?
- Is this happening on all trains? 🚆
- Who has authorised this?
Passenger safety deserves application of mind - not just efficiency. Just to make the passengers that IRCTC is serving hot food, how can such a careless thing be done - playing with the health of lakhs of people who are eating this food?
The last thing we want is blame game buck to be passed between @IRCTCofficial@fssaiindia -
Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution will say that it is Railways’ mistake.
Railway minister will say it is the third party vendor who has been given the tender - it’s their mistake.
Third party vendor will find someone at the lowest in the ladder like the gentleman in this video who admitted that they were heated in microwave, to fix the blame on - while fixing NO Accountability of the damage already done and NO Responsibility for what’s to come.
Action / Clarification on this ought to be issued from the Railway Ministry.
Corrective Measures need to be announced immediately.

@kapsology@nitin_gadkari@HardeepSPuri With E20, there is a drop in 3-4 kmpl and also engine damages, since only the latest engines are compatible with E20
I was in the same damn flight 2 hours before it took off from AMD. I came in this from DEL-AMD. Noticed unusual things in the place.Made a video to tweet to @airindia i would want to give more details. Please contact me. @flyingbeast320@aajtak@ndtv@Boeing_In#planecrash#AI171
12 Pakistan air bases destroyed, many of their jets shot down by the Indian Army… hundreds of terrorists killed deep inside Pakistan territory.
Yet this man, with zero iota of shame, Shehbaz Sharif, says we have won against India. 🤡🤡
