What is shown in the viral video?
It can be clearly seen in the viral video that a huge crowd of passengers has gathered outside the train. One person from this crowd suddenly opens the emergency window of the sleeper coach. A woman sitting near the window, startled by this sudden incident, immediately stands up from her seat. After this, one by one people—carrying their bags—start boarding the coach through the same window. The crowd is so huge that there is no sign of it stopping; People are continuously entering through the same route. This entire scene is extremely shocking and disturbing for the passengers already inside the train.
People’s reactions on social media
After the video went viral, people on social media gave their strong reactions to it. Many users strongly condemned the incident, calling it completely inappropriate and demanded strict action from the railway authorities. Some people argued that it is not entirely the responsibility of the Railways, but passengers should also follow the rules. Expressing their anger, many people suggested that if people use emergency windows to enter the train, then the Railways should consider changing the design of such windows or the way they work. People are extremely angry seeing such carelessness and excessive overcrowding. Another user commented that entering the sleeper coach like this is wrong and can also put the safety of passengers at risk.
