After a man posted a video showing bedsheets and pillow covers used in the railway being thrown on the ground before washing at Pune Railway station, the video went viral, with several people slamming the Pune railway division's operations.
The blanket and bedsheets were lying on the rain-soaked platform with visible stains of mud.
The video was posted from an Instagram account with the caption:
"Dear Indian Railways 🚆, If these AC coach bedsheets and pillows had feelings, they’d be crying in a puddle of sadness 💧🛏️ Caught these poor souls soaking in dirty rainwater on Pune Station floor — the same sheets that later go under our heads in AC coaches 😷. Clean sheets, clean sleep — that’s the basic expectation, isn’t it? This isn’t a rant, it’s a humble request: If we’re paying for comfort, can we not hug a hygiene hazard at 60 km/hr @railminindia @railwayseva please look into this 🙏🏼 — we’d rather dream in trains, not about what’s crawling in our pillowcases."
Railway promises action
Hemant Behera, Public Relations Officer of Pune division, speaking to FPJ said that they are aware of the video and that bedsheets and pillow covers cannot be thrown on the platform like this even before washing and promised necessary action against the said contractor who did this.
