This is a major safety hazard and can cause fire endangering lives of all onboard. That's why we cannot have good things. Many will misuse the facilities and then be proud of it. Most lack civil sense. pic.twitter.com/JSRCpIXPW9

Another user recalled an old incident and wrote, "Many years ago, on a train ride from Chennai to Tatanagar, a family performed pooja and burnt agarbatti, camphor. I told the TC, and he warned them.
