A video of a railway staff member tossing garbage off a moving train has gone viral on the internet, staring a debate on accountability. The netizens have demanded strict action against such action.

The video shows a railway staff abroad the Sdah–Ajmer SF Express opening beside the door and taking out the garbage bag then throws it onto the tracks while the train is in motion.

The video was posted on X by Divya Gandotra Tandon. She questioned about accountability and called the action of the railway staff as arrogance.

She wrote, “This is exactly why cleanliness in India struggles, not because systems don’t exist, but because accountability doesn’t.” She further criticised the act, adding, “A railway staff member casually throwing garbage out of a moving train, and then justifying it? This isn’t ignorance, it’s arrogance.”

This is exactly why cleanliness in India struggles, not because systems don’t exist, but because accountability doesn’t.

A railway staff member in Sdah–Ajmer SF Express (12987) casually throwing garbage out of a moving train, and then justifying it?

This isn’t ignorance, it’s arrogance.

If those responsible for maintaining public spaces themselves treat the country like a dustbin, what message does it send to citizens?

Strict action must be taken.
Not warnings, not transfers… real consequences.

Fix the mindset before preaching “Swachh Bharat.”

Her post echoed with several X users who shared similar frustrations about the gap between policy and practice. “If those responsible for maintaining public spaces themselves treat the country like a dustbin, what message does it send to citizens?” she asked, calling for stricter consequences. “Strict action must be taken. Not warnings, not transfers real consequences.”

The incident has once again brought attention to a recurring issue. Over the years, several such videos have surfaced online, showing railway staff resorting to the same method of disposing waste, often seen as a quick fix but one that undermines broader cleanliness efforts.
