The Indian Railways has been in the spotlight recently due to passenger concerns. These concerns have been amplified by social media, with videos highlighting issues like cleanliness, overcrowding, and delays going viral. This has led to reputational challenges for the department.

Adding to recent passenger concerns, a video emerged on the 'Indian Railways' subreddit in June 2024.

The passenger had been looking forward to a simple meal, but their excitement turned to disgust when they found the unwelcome guest in their gulab jamun.

The user wrote a caption that reads, "For the first time, I ordered dinner from IRCTC, and this is what I got: a living cockroach."
