In such a situation, even a small carelessness of every passenger can cause a major accident. Recently, a video has gone viral on social media, which has raised serious questions regarding safety and responsibility in trains.

The matter was so serious that many people demanded strict action from the railway administration and the Railway Protection Force was also tagged.
What is the whole matter?
The scene of a general coach is seen in the viral video. The coach is already full of passengers. Meanwhile, a passenger sitting on the upper berth adopts a very dangerous method to charge his mobile. He connects an open electric wire in the switch board of the passenger coach. The end of the wire was not completely covered, that is, it was a bare wire. This situation could cause short circuit or electric shock at any time.
Not only this, the same passenger had also hung his shoes on the luggage rack. The place where passengers’ bags and essential items are kept was being used as a shoe stand. This was not only inconvenient, but was also considered wrong in terms of cleanliness and etiquette.
This shocking video from a general coach of Indian Railways exposes sheer stupidity and zero civic sense.
