A viral video shows a woman using an electric kettle on a train, raising safety concerns due to the use of high-wattage appliances in train compartments.
A captivating video that has gone viral on social media captures the moment a woman used an electric kettle to make tea while seated on the lower berth of a train. Recorded by a fellow passenger, the clip shows the woman comfortably operating the kettle plugged into the coach's socket while other passengers nearby sit without objection. However, this act has ignited discussions regarding safety regulations, as the use of high-wattage appliances like electric kettles is prohibited on trains due to potential fire hazards.
The video clearly illustrates the woman's casual use of the kettle, leading to a significant online debate about the risks associated with such behavior. Rail authorities emphasize that the sockets available in train coaches are intended solely for charging low-wattage electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops, not for running heavy appliances. Following the video's release, a user on X (formerly Twitter) tagged the railway service and the Ministry of Railways, warning that such practices could lead to short circuits or even fire incidents and suggested that the railway should launch an awareness campaign regarding these rules.
As the video continues to circulate, it has provoked a flood of comments on social media, indicating public concern over safety protocols within train services. Many express their disbelief at the woman's actions and urge for stricter enforcement of safety regulations to prevent potential accidents caused by misuse of electrical appliances on trains, highlighting the need for increased public awareness regarding these rules to ensure passenger safety.
