NEW DELHI: A video shared by Irina Moreno, a foreign traveler, has recently gone viral on social media, shedding light on the unsanitary conditions of the toilets on Indian Railways. The video, captioned "Western Closet in Indian Train. 2nd class Train No. 12991," showcases the state of the toilets in the general class of the Udaipur City-Jaipur Intercity Express.
In the video, Moreno documented the toilet facilities, sparking both support and criticism from viewers. While many praised her for bringing attention to the issue, some comments criticized her expectations, pointing out that she was traveling in general class and should not expect high-end amenities. One Indian user commented, "It's a little bit neat, raise the budget next time, stop putting India down; no country is perfect."
Responding to the comments, Moreno argued that the quality of essential facilities, such as toilets, should be consistent across all classes.
