Vande Bharat Trains in Chennai Stop Serving Non-Vegetarian Breakfast

You might want a non-vegetarian option.
But suddenly, on some trains, you can only get vegetarian food for breakfast.
Nobody told the passengers this change.
People are upset because they weren't informed and miss having a choice.
The company in charge of food hasn't explained why yet, and passengers are complaining about other things too, like the food quality.
