The video raised questions about hygiene practices and civic sense within Indian Railways.The clip, captured by foreign tourists travelling on an Indian train, shows the staff sweeping garbage from under the seats and casually dumping the trash out.The video, posted on Instagram by user Backpacker Ben with the caption “How they clean trains in India,” has drawn over 2.6 lakh views and over 6,400 likes.”He saw me filming as well, he didn’t care. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the trains of India,” the foreigner who captured the incident on his camera was heard saying. The footage quickly spread across platforms, with users tagging the Railway Ministry and demanding accountability. One X user wrote, “Dear Indian Railways, what’s this behaviour? Cleaning the entire coach in front of foreign tourists only to throw all the waste on the tracks this isn’t cleanliness, it’s pure hypocrisy. If this is your idea of Swachh Bharat, it’s a shameful mockery of it.”In response, Railway Seva replied, “We regret the experience you had,” and asked for the PNR and mobile number to investigate the matter further.Social media reactions were sharp and scathing. “Pathetic civic sense,” one user wrote, while another called it “shameful.”
