Passenger theft on Indian railways sparks outrage after viral video
New Delhi: Indian Railways, long criticized for issues like overcrowding, cleanliness, and food quality, is now facing a new challenge: allegations of passengers stealing railway property. A recent viral video has brought the issue to light, sparking widespread public debate.
The video, reportedly filmed at Prayagraj station, shows railway staff inspecting passenger luggage on the platform and recovering items such as bed sheets and towels, allegedly taken from train coaches. Shared on Reddit by user "whoismayankk," the footage has amassed over 4,200 upvotes and generated a heated discussion in the comments section.
Viewers reacted strongly, condemning the theft and demanding stricter penalties. One commenter criticized the lack of civic sense, advocating for tougher rules to address societal behavior. Others expressed disbelief at passengers stealing marked items like blankets and linens, with one remarking on the audacity of such actions despite visible IRCTC logos.
Some users linked the issue to broader societal concerns. "What is a country if not the amalgamation of its people?" wrote one, highlighting the moral decline among certain segments of the population. Another attributed the problem to passengers undermining the reputation of Indian Railways, which, despite being one of the world’s most extensive networks, struggles to maintain a world-class standard due to such incidents.
