'It Could Trigger Short-Circuit': Woman Uses Train Socket To Cook Maggi In Electric Kettle, Viral Video Fuels Huge Safety Debate

Woman Uses Train Socket To Cook Maggi Viral Video: Sometimes train journeys come with unexpected drama, and this time, a packet of Maggi managed to stir up a full-blown safety debate online. A video from an Indian Railways coach has gone viral after a woman decided to use her own electric kettle to cook Maggi right on the train, something that instantly raised eyebrows and alarm bells.

In the viral clip, recorded by another passenger, the woman is comfortably sitting on her berth while an electric kettle boils beside her. Steam pours out, the camera zooms in, and it’s clear she’s cooking Maggi noodles inside it. A couple of Maggi packets lie open next to her, and instead of hiding it, she proudly asks the person filming to share the video so more people can try this hack.

The video later landed on X with a strong warning that read: "This is a major safety hazard and can cause fire, endangering the 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."

Once the clip spread, people online were quick to react and most weren’t amused. Commenters pointed out that train charging sockets are meant only for small gadgets like phones and power banks. The post shared by the handle '@outofofficedaku' yesterday pulled 332k views from users. "How? DC Electricity is supplied in trains. You can charge laptops, so how is this dangerous?" a user wrote.

"The problem is these people think that they can do whatever they wish since they have paid for the ticket. Money cannot buy you class and civic sense. You will find many such characters in 3 AC now," a second user wrote. "This is absolutely insane and may invite fire accidents, @RailMinIndia must look into it and should give her a big challan," wrote a third user.

"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. That was before the era of the Internet. Nothing has changed since; people still lack all sense," added a fourth user. "I give up, India is not going to change and it happens only in India," a fifth user added.
