The video has gone viral and has left the internet in disbelief. While some commented on how it is dangerous for commuters to enter the coaches through windows, others tagged the Indian Railways to look into the matter. 

A user commented, "India needs more affordable trains and buses Not the overhyped Vandhe Bharat!"

Another user wrote, "I read all your reasons. All are true. Add this also, These days in the Northern part, @RailMinIndia cancelled more than 50% of trains, without planning for alternatives. Now, very few trains are running, which causes great inconvenience & chaos."

The third user joked, "Climbing into the compartment wearing a saree through the 'small door' is a remarkable feat...."

Meanwhile, there have been numerous grievances regarding overcrowding on trains. One particular complaint highlighted a passenger's ordeal on an Indian Railways journey, where he had to stand throughout the entire trip despite having a confirmed ticket.
