Indian Railways Viral Video: It seems like arguments and fights on Indian Railways’ trains over reserved seats are turning into a new ‘norm’ that no one wanted, as yet another incident related to the same recently unfolded on a train. A video was shared online, where a woman with no ticket was seen arguing with a man with a reserved seat, where she seemingly wanted him to give up the seat for another elderly woman with no ticket.

A majority of netizens dubbed the issue of ticketless passengers crowding trains a huge hassle, while the rest sympathised with people with reserved seats losing their seats.
The video was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘Ghar ke kalesh’. The post was captioned, “Kalesh b/w a Lady and Reserved Seat passenger inside Indian Railways over seat issues.” The video was shared yesterday and pulled more than 97K views from people.
