As millions of devotees flock to Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj, a viral video has highlighted the severe overcrowding in trains. The footage, which has taken the internet by storm, shows three women traveling inside a cramped train toilet due to a lack of space.
The video features one of the women recording herself while standing on a toilet seat, with two of her friends beside her. They appear to take the situation lightly, making humorous remarks about their unconventional journey. However, the clip has triggered widespread criticism, with social media users expressing concerns over safety, hygiene, and civic responsibility.
With train services overwhelmed by the influx of pilgrims, many passengers have struggled to find proper seating, leading to overcrowded compartments and extreme measures like this. The viral incident has ignited discussions about the state of railway infrastructure during major religious gatherings, with calls for better crowd management and increased train services to accommodate travelers.
Despite the backlash, the woman in the video later shared another clip of herself taking a holy dip at the Sangam, seemingly unfazed by the controversy.
