Viral Video: Venomous snake seen coiling around the handle in a shocking incident on board the Garib Rath Express, currently running from Jabalpur to Mumbai. As the video shot by a passenger showing the alarm moment has come on social media, the train became the center of attraction.
Panic Among Passengers at Kasara Railway Station
In the viral video we can see the snake had accommodated itself about one seat number to the left of seat number 23 in coach G3 in almost parallel alignment with the approaching Kasara Railway Station. It was sending shivers down passengers’ spines and they were being held aghast as it tried to reach the roof by spiraling around on the handle between seats. A sharp-eyed traveler promptly filmed the incident that quickly went viral, fuelling alarm all over about the safety of passengers.
The disturbing situation was dealt with promptly as the train crew received prompt warnings from passengers. Luckily, the situation was brought under control with no injury being caused. Official authorities made efforts to take out the snake safely from the train so that no passenger was harmed.
Passenger Safety Concerns Raised
It has reignited the debate on how secure trains are, especially in light of earlier reports that water was dripping through air conditioning ducts. Should a snake appear, grave questions regarding maintenance and passenger safety are evoked as these incidents can pose a life-threatening risk.
Although this episode has successfully been ended without the loss of even a single casualty, it reminds everyone about serious safety measures in public transport. Now that videos of the incident are already available online, many wonder how a venomous snake could have come on board a moving train. Questioning what will be done to prevent it again in the future is also staring down at them.
