Indian Railways have been under scrutiny for its poor management of crowds and customer service in recent times. The local trains are almost always overcrowded during peak hours, resulting in severe incidents like stampedes. A recent video of a porter's innovative way to help passengers catch a train has left the Internet in splits. The viral clip shows the coolie lifting passengers—men, women, and children—one by one, and putting them in the train through the emergency window. He lifts each passenger, pushes them inside the train, and throws their luggage in. The station and train number are unknown. Sharing the video, an X handle @HasnaZaruriHai wrote, “Coolie No. 1.” Watch here: Coolie No. 1️⃣ 😲👏🫡 pic.twitter.com/iPKytdonAE — HasnaZarooriHai🇮🇳 (@HasnaZaruriHai) November 16, 2024 With over two million views, the said video prompted a range of reactions. Hailing the coolie, a user commented, “That guy haz constantly upskilled himself to innovate with changing times.” Another user wrote, “We are doing rehearsal for becoming economic super power. Worried about China's future.. visionary leadership.” “Time travel to the future, but our train system is stuck in the past,” a third user said. “Created a shortcut in windows,” another user commented.
