Public Reactions Call for Railway Minister’s Intervention
As the viral video continues to circulate on social media, it has sparked a wave of responses from concerned citizens. Many social media users took to the platform to demand better measures from Indian Railways and the Railway Minister.
ये डरावना मंजर है।
लोग भी पता नहीं क्यों अपने जान को दाव पर लगा कर यात्रा कर रहे है?
इतना भी रेलवे के हित में योगदान नहीं देना है।
अपना जान को इतना सस्ता न बनाए।— Mukesh Maurya (@Maurya85278508) December 16, 2024
One user commented: “This is a scary scene. I don\’t know why people are traveling risking their lives? Don\’t make your life so cheap.”
मैं इसी लाइन से मसौढ़ी उतरकर अपने घर जाता हूं। दानापुर तक का किराया ₹१० है ।
पटना-जहानाबाद-गया के समानांतर बहुत हीं अच्छी रोड है और यात्रा खर्च लगभग ₹८०-१०० तक लग सकता है लेकिन लोग बिना टिकट यात्रा करते हैं। @drmdnr टिकट चेक कीजिए उसके बाद पता चलेगा अतिरिक्त ट्रेन की जरुरत।

Another added: “I get down at Masaurhi from this line and go to my home. The fare till Danapur is ₹10. There’s a good road parallel to Patna-Jehanabad-Gaya, but people travel without tickets. Check the tickets, and you’ll know if additional trains are required.”
Several others echoed similar sentiments, urging the railway authorities to ensure passenger safety and provide more trains on the Gaya-Patna line.
