Responding to the video, the official handle of Northern Railway cited ''temporary blockage of pipes'' as the reason behind the leakage and apologised for the inconvenience.
They wrote, ''Slight water leakage was observed in coach because of temporary blockage of pipes! The same was attended and rectified by the staff on the train . The inconvenience caused is regretted.''
However, several internet users expressed their anger and frustration at such situations and demanded better services from Railway authorities. One user wrote, ''Wow, incompetency at its peak." Slight Leakage. It's a brand-new train, what kind of pathetic manufacturing quality is this?? The roof is leaking clearly.''
Another commented, ''Vande Bharat, the first train with a shower. Passengers can now bathe while sitting in the rainy season.''
A third wrote, ''This is the condition of Vande Bharat train running from New Delhi to Varanasi. Water is dripping from the roof. People are not able to sit in their seats. The price being charged in Vande Bharat train is high, but the service is low.''
