The Indian Railways is back in the headlines, and as usual these days, the reason is not exactly a good one. In fact, the ‘limelight’ is over a complaint that a man made on social media, which immediately went viral, and received a mixed reaction. The said complaint was over the ‘poor quality’ bottle holders that were offered on the train. Sharing pictures of the ‘delicate’ bottle holders, the man went on to compare them with the previous holders that were much more steady and were of steel. As soon as the post went viral, more people joined in and recalled their own issues that they faced during their rides. A few also defended the Railways.

The post was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘Enraged_Indian’. The post was captioned, “Do you know @AshwiniVaishnaw that the water bottles (including those provided by Indian Railways to passengers in certain premium trains) do not fit into the bottle holders installed by the Indian Railway? I know it will be too much below your dignity (and entitlement as our Sewaks), but travel once by train and experience the comedy of errors of Amrit Kaal, firsthand!”

The post, soon after being shared, went viral and gained a mixed reaction from people.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Yes, it’s a problem. And you cannot keep the bottle on the table as the trains are very jerky, the bottle falls off. This is a problem for all the new coaches. Simply untested unthought bad design by @RailwaySeva,” a user said. “Thumb rule: do away with corrupt contractors, who get away with anything, as long as they are the vendors. They create their own specs, to their satisfaction,” joined a second person. “The shelf-like table is an impediment to those sitting window side. The older design which was foldable made sense...not this rigid plastic thingy,” added a third person. 

“Sir, did you try with packaged drinking water bottles other than Rail Neer? Asking out of curiosity,” asked a fourth netizen. “Sir my request is to go for endoscopy immediately.. Stomach ulcer is curable and if neglected it becomes more complicated,” joked next.
