Viral Video: What is considered a luxury means of transport in other countries, the train, is largely looked down upon in India. The reason, you ask? Well, take a look at any train travel-related viral video on social media, you will hardly find any, that won’t have anything to do with the mismanagement and lack of control by the Indian Railways. Exemplifying the same, recently, a video went viral, where a passenger had to use parkour-like skills, just to pass through the overcrowded train. The train obviously had more passengers without tickets than enough space to even stand inside it.
As soon as the clip went viral, it left people irked as they raised several questions against the authorities for letting the passengers without tickets travel with passengers with reserved seats. The date and location of the incident could not be confirmed.
The video was shared on social media platform Instagram, by the handle ‘Logkyakahenge’. The post was captioned, “Just a normal day in general & sleeper class.”
Watch the viral video:
The video went viral on social media. Most people cracked jokes on the same and recalled incidents that were similar to the one going viral. Some also chastised the crowd and the Indian Railways for the lack of management and control. The video was shared a day ago and pulled countless likes.
Taking to the comment section, netizens shared their take. “#indianrailways,#irctc kindly check and see the reality cause you are only making Vande Bharat train is not a great achievement,” a user said. “This is general coach…misinformation matters. Please don’t spread misinformation,” said a second person.
“Sometimes India is not for Indians also,” commented a third user. “They should make rules and penalties stricter for unreserved passengers travelling in sleepers and ACs,” wrote a fourth user. “This is nothing..one time I became Deadpool (extreme immunity) to prevent food poisoning by irctc food,” added another.
