X user Veera Jain took to the microblogging platform to share her experience on an Air India flight that left her furious. When Jain was travelling from Kozhikode to Mumbai with Air India, she was served chicken pieces in her vegetarian meal. After she shared about the incident, the airline has responded to it.
“On my @airindia flight AI582, I was served a veg meal with chicken pieces in it! I boarded the flight from Calicut airport. This was a flight that was supposed to take off at 18:40 pm but left the airport at 19:40 pm,” wrote Jain in her tweet.

She further added, “When I informed the cabin supervisor (Sona), she apologized and informed me that there was more than one complaint about the same issue other than me and my friend. However, after I informed the crew, there was no action taken to inform other passengers having vegetarian meals.”

An individual wrote, "Serving non-vegetarian food labelled as vegetarian goes against our cultural values and is highly unacceptable. Urgent action is requested to address and rectify this issue."
