Viral Video shows Railway vendor resting feet on open Samosa crate inside train

A shocking video showing a railway vendor sitting with his feet resting on an open crate of samosas inside a moving train has sparked widespread outrage on social media.

The viral clip captures the vendor sitting on the floor near the train door while speaking on a mobile phone. In the video, his feet can be seen placed directly over the crate containing samosas meant for passengers.

The incident reportedly took place inside a train coach where the vendor was positioned beneath a wash basin area, raising serious concerns about cleanliness and food safety standards.

Social media users strongly criticised the unhygienic handling of food, with many questioning the monitoring and regulation of catering services on Indian trains.

The video has once again brought attention to recurring complaints regarding poor hygiene practices in railway food services. Passengers have often raised concerns about food quality, sanitation and cleanliness during train journeys.

Health experts warn that food stored or handled in unhygienic conditions can expose consumers to infections and stomach-related illnesses, including diarrhoea and food poisoning.

The incident has also renewed calls for stricter inspections and enforcement of food safety norms across railway catering operations to ensure passengers receive clean and safe food during travel.

Railway authorities are yet to issue an official statement regarding the viral video.
