Air India removes ‘non-veg prasad’ article after controversy

The Air India on Saturday withdrew its in-flight magazine following protests over an article over non-vegetarian prasad being cooked in the revered Jagannath Puri Temple.

An article titled “devotion can be delicious” in its inflight magazine Shubh Yatra, infuriated people as it said, “Said to be the largest in the country, the Jagannath Temple’s kitchen in Puri since its inception has had an army of 500 cooks and 300 helpers to serve 100,000 people every day, round the clock, which means almost 285 varieties of vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes every day….”

After the angry reactions, the airline tweeted: “AI apologises for the error. Our intention was not to hurt sentiments. Shubh Yatra copies have been removed with immediate effect.”

A senior airline official said that the article appeared in the October issue of the inflight magazine and that the same has been withdrawn.
