The video, which surfaced on X, has sparked outrage over the alleged transportation and handling of timber on a passenger train. The user who shared the video claims that the chaotic unloading turned even more dangerous when a child was allegedly left behind on the departing train. According to the post, a young man then ran alongside the moving train in a desperate attempt to retrieve the child.

Chaotic scenes on platform

The nighttime video shows a highly chaotic scene on the platform. Large bundles of wood, logs and sticks can be seen being rapidly removed from the train and thrown or dropped onto the platform. Several bundles land close to the railway tracks, while bags, luggage and other debris are scattered across the area. Passengers and others can be seen rushing around as the blue-and-cream train begins to move.

Later in the video, a young boy appears to run alongside the departing train. While the footage is consistent with the claim that someone was attempting to retrieve a child left aboard, the circumstances surrounding the child could not be independently established.

Safety concerns raised online

The incident has also renewed concerns over the alleged unregulated handling of heavy goods on passenger platforms. Social media users have questioned how such potentially dangerous loading and unloading activity was allowed to take place around a moving train and crowded platform.

The Railway has not yet issued a response to the incident. FPJ could not independently verify the authenticity of the video or the claims made in the accompanying post.

Earlier incident in Bihar

The viral footage also comes months after a similar incident in Bihar raised concerns over the dangers posed by timber being transported near railway tracks.
