A person, recording the video from the platform can be heard saying “Yeh Bihar hai (This is Bihar)”. The X account shared the clip with the caption, “How did the woman transport a box this large from the bus station? Sooner or later, it’s going to run into a pole.”

Indian Railways responds

In response to the video, Railway Seva sought the station name, train number, and the complainant’s mobile number. It further noted that issues can be reported via RailMadad for prompt resolution or through the 139 helpline.

Internet reactions

The video rapidly gained traction online, with several users raising alarm over passenger safety and the apparent breach of railway norms.

One user tagged railway authorities and asked, “Is this incident appropriate for the railway’s attention or not? Wouldn’t this be considered an invitation to a potential rail accident?”

Another user highlighted that Indian Railways provides a proper system for carrying oversized luggage. “Parcel coaches are attached to most passenger trains, and passengers can book bulky items such as boxes and bikes. I don’t understand why people knowingly violate the rules,” the comment read.
