'Only halal meat on trains': NHRC takes up issue

NEW DELHI: NHRC has issued a notice to railways on a complaint alleging that “only halal-processed meat” is served in non-vegetarian meals which creates an “unfair discrimination” and amounts to “violations of human rights”.It is further alleged in the complaint that the practice in trains excludes people from Hindu Dalit communities, who traditionally work in the meat trade and therefore harms their livelihood rights and equal opportunities.The complainant has also alleged that Hindu and Sikh passengers do not get food options that match their religious beliefs, affecting their freedom of choice.
