A shocking video from Amrit Bharat Express Train No. 16601 has gone viral. It shows a man washing used food boxes inside the train, leaving passengers furious and disgusted by what they saw.
The train was travelling from Erode in Tamil Nadu to Jogbani in Bihar. The man was caught cleaning old food trays at the wash basin meant for passengers to wash their hands. He then placed the trays aside, as if they were ready for reuse.
When a passenger questioned him, he said the boxes were being sent back but couldn’t explain why he was washing them on the train. His unclear response only made travellers more suspicious and angry.
After the video spread online, railway officials launched an inquiry. The catering vendor responsible was removed and fined for poor hygiene practices. Officials also said strict checks will be done to prevent such behaviour in the future.
Passengers called the act unhygienic and unsafe. They demanded strong action from Indian Railways to ensure such incidents are never repeated and that food safety on trains is strictly maintained.
