After Ujjain’s prophets objected and threatened the saffron costumes of the attendants on the Ramayana Express, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) said on Monday that it had changed its staff’s dress code to make it look more professional.

"Notice that the dress code of the service staff has been completely changed to the professional dress of the service staff. I regret the inconvenience caused," an IRCTC spokesperson said.

According to a PTI report, the Prophet of Ujjain stated earlier in the day that the attire was an insult to Hinduism and also threatened to stop the train in Delhi on December 12 if the dress code was not cancelled. .

"Two days ago, we had written a letter to the Minister of Federal Railways, protesting that the waiters were serving refreshments and food on the Ramayana Express in Saffron. Wearing saffron costumes, wearing sadhu-like headdresses, and wearing rudraksha horses To pull [necklace] is an insult to Hinduism and its foresight," Avdeshpuri, the former general secretary of Ujjain Akhada Parishad, told the news agency.
