Indian railway passengers often take to social media to highlight the issues of negligence or poor maintenance. On Monday, Prithiv, an X user, shared a video that showed cockroaches hanging out on ceilings on a railway AC compartment. While sharing this incriminating clip he wrote, “Paying around Rs.4000 per ticket for 2AC and this is what we get. The place was full of cockroaches. How could one sleep here?"

Cockroaches invaded the air-conditioned train compartment, turning it into an uncomfortable and inconvenient scene. On December 24, this image was shared. It has received several views since it was posted. Many others shared their opinions in the post's comments section. Even Railway Seva's official Twitter account responded to it. “We would appreciate it if you could send us the travel information (PNR/UTS No.) and your mobile number through direct message. For prompt resolution, you can also file a direct complaint at http://railmadad.indianrailways.gov.in or by calling 139.”

A few months ago, a passenger on an Indian railroad train traveling from Delhi to Tirupati uploaded a photo of cockroaches exploring his seat. On the microblogging site Twitter, Aatif Ali posted a grievance. Railway Seva's official handle has responded to it ever since. It has had over 33,000 views since it was posted. Over 200 people liked the share as well.
