The Indian Railways has assured of prompt action after a video went viral on social media depicting people travelling in the toilet of an overcrowded train and several other passengers trying to board it at Charbagh Railway Station in Lucknow.
In a viral video shared on microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter), commuters were seen travelling in worst conditions, with passengers not only standing at the entrances but also resorting to occupying train toilets due to lack of standing room.
As the train pulled into Lucknow’s Charbagh station, several other passengers tried to board an already overcrowded train. With no room to spare, some commuters were forced to stand reluctantly inside the restroom for the duration of the journey.
In the viral video, a man at Charbagh station asked a passenger occupying the toilet, “Bathroom mein jaayenge (Will you travel in the bathroom)?” The passenger, with helpless eyes, nodded in acknowledgement.
Several other passengers were seen waiting to board as others tried to make their way through the overcrowded coach.
In another video titled ‘Inside the washroom of the train’ the clip revealed how the three men managed to accommodate in the toilet while keeping their bags intact.
The viral video has amassed 552K views, 2.5K likes, 1.5K retweets and 321 comments since posted on February 16, 2024.
Railway Seva, the official account for support to passengers, reacted to the post on X. The Railways Seva said for necessary action escalated to the concerned official, Drm Lucknow.
