Video Of IRCTC Staffer Throwing Garbage Onto Tracks From Moving Train Goes Viral; Railways Reacts (Screengrab) | X/@KantInEast
New Delhi: A video of an IRCTC staffer throwing garbage on railway tracks has surfaced online. The video, with text overlay, “Who is responsible?” is now going viral. In the footage, the IRCTC staffer could be seen emptying the overflowing dustbin onto the tracks from a moving train.
Some passengers of the train could be heard urging the IRCTC staff not to throw garbage on the tracks. However, he defended his actions. The staffer claimed that where should he empty the dustbin as there was no other place to dispose of the garbage.
The video shows the staffer tossing garbage onto the tracks from a moving train as onlookers urge him to stop. He ignores them all, and, at one point, even justifies his actions by claiming there’s nowhere else to dispose of it.
The video was shared with a caption. “A senior IRCTC official throws garbage right from a moving train despite warnings. Scary to even imagine.”
Video Of The Incident:
The Indian Railways took cognizance of the incident after the video went viral. It requested the user who shot the video to share the train number and date of the journey for further action. “We request you to please share the journey details (PNR/UTS No.), Train No., Date of incidence and Mobile No. with us preferably via DM so that immediate action can be taken on your complaint. You may also raise your concern directly on http://railmadad.indianrailways.gov.in or dial 139 for speedy redressal,” the Indian Railways said in an ‘X’ post.
Indian Railways’ Response:
In a video, when a passenger questioned the staffer by saying, “Then why dustbin is placed here?”, the staffer did not respond and kept throwing the garbage on tracks.
After he emptied the dustbin onto the tracks, the IRCTC staffer said, “It was full. Where else should we empty it?”
It is not the first time that such incidents have taken place. In December 2023 s also, a similar video of a railway staff throwing garbage on tracks from a moving train had surfaced.
