A passenger’s harrowing experience traveling in a 3 AC coach of Indian Railways has sparked outrage online. Rachit Jain shared his sister’s ordeal on social media, highlighting problems like overcrowding, lack of basic facilities, and unauthorized passengers.
Nightmarish Journey in 3 AC
Jain’s post describes a chaotic situation where overcrowding near the compartment doors prevented his sister from entering the train. In the ensuing confusion, her child was left behind on the platform. Fearing for her child’s safety, she was forced to disembark from a moving train, resulting in injuries.
Beyond Basic Comfort
Jain further criticizes the lack of proper amenities like clean washrooms and expresses concern about the presence of unauthorized passengers. This overcrowding creates a safety hazard for passengers who have paid for a comfortable journey.
Netizens Express Discontent
The post has resonated with many travelers, garnering over 900,000 views and numerous comments. Here’s a glimpse into what fellow passengers had to say:
- Similar Ordeals: One user chimed in, “Last time, last month, I too faced such a problem… And No action by any railway authority… In fact, TTE was not found in train till last stop…”
- Concerns Beyond AC Coaches: Another user expressed worry, stating, “OMG really? This is AC coach situation then what about sleeper class?”
- Seeking Solutions: A different user offered a thought-provoking comment: “Would like to hear some genuine and practical suggestions on how to stop people without tickets from getting on the trains in the first place. Trying to get them off once they’re on board isn’t ideal and can definitely cause a scene.”
