Passenger response
At the time of the incident, some passengers present at the station told the media that at first they felt that maybe some new information was being announced, but when they heard things like ‘how shameless man’ from Mike, they were also shocked. A passenger said, “First thought there would be an emergency information, then it became difficult to stop laughing. Everyone was smiling.”
Somebody taunted that “the railway station is worried about the ticket counter or late train at the railway station, this time Mike got entertained.”
Silence of railway administration
No official statement has come from the Railway Administration on this matter till Thursday morning. However, some railway sources say that such mistakes will be instructed to be vigilant to avoid future. A senior railway official said on the condition of anonymity that it is possible that the female employee should be warned in this case, as the incident is related to the dignity of the station and the security information system of the passengers.
Incidents of Mike on Mike on now
Such incidents are not limited to railway stations only. Even before this, people forget to close the mic in many video calls, online classes and office meetings, which makes private things public. Last year, in the online class of a school in Delhi, the teacher’s mike was turned on and his personal things were heard by the whole class. Apart from this, such incidents have also happened in many corporate meetings.
Public view: Laughter and laughter also worry
While people are taking this incident as a mild joke, some passengers and social media users have also questioned the professional negligence of railway staff. A Twitter user wrote, “Employees should be vigilant at a sensitive place like Railways. It has been averted but some serious information could be missed tomorrow.” On the other hand, some people are considering it as a human error and expressing sympathy to the employee. “Everyone makes a mistake, this time what happened if the mike remains open. Anyway there is so much tension in the railway journey, a little laugh is also necessary,” a Facebook user wrote.
What will be the action?
Although no formal statement has come from the Railways, the experts say that after such an incident, training sessions are conducted for employees so that there is no such lapse in future. Public announcement system is very important at railway stations and maintaining its credibility. It is the responsibility of the administration. This incident of Charbagh railway station in Lucknow not only proved to be an unexpected entertainment for the passengers but also became a topic of discussion on social media. However, this incident also showed how any employee can suddenly go viral if technical precautions are not taken. While on the one hand this case smiled on the faces of the passengers, on the other hand there is a warning for the railway administration that additional vigilance should be taken in important arrangements like public announcement system. In the end, it can be said that this little mistake has reduced the fatigue and stress of the passengers for some time, but with this it was also clear that ‘Mike is on or off’ – how important it is to see!
