Social media reactions
The incident has sparked strong reactions on social media, with several users blaming negligence and a lack of supervision. One user commented that the incident was not an accident but a result of serious safety violations. “This is not an accident – it’s pure negligence. Illegal transport of timber on passenger trains and dumping logs near tracks is a serious safety violation. Strict action must be taken against those responsible before more innocent lives are put at risk,” the user wrote on X.
Another comment questioned the role of the Railway Protection Force (RPF). “Where is the RPF? How is she being allowed to walk on the tracks?” the user said.
A third user comment read, “The railway authority must take action against illegal transport happening on their property. Having said that, she was roaming on the railway track as if it was a garden. You play with fire; there is always a possibility of getting burnt.”
Other social media users also pointed out that walking along railway tracks is dangerous and illegal. They said that while authorities must act against illegal transport, people should also avoid trespassing on tracks, as it puts lives at risk.
Demand for accountability
The viral clip continues to garner widespread attention online, with netizens demanding strict action against those involved and stronger monitoring to prevent similar incidents.
