Overview
- A passenger-recorded video circulating online shows a Kolkata–Sairang sleeper coach with no visible litter and travellers placing trash in small personal bags.
- The person who posted the clip on X says most passengers were from Mizoram and that their own waste-collection kept the coach clean, but news reports cite only the recorder’s account and offer no independent verification.
- The footage quickly attracted widespread praise on social media for civic responsibility and polite behaviour, with users contrasting the scene with littering commonly reported on other trains.
- The train involved is the Kolkata–Sairang service that began in September 2025 to link Kolkata with Sairang in Mizoram, a context that has increased public interest in the journey.
- Reporters and commenters link the clip to a wider reputation for community-led cleanliness in parts of Northeast India, and the video may steer more discussion about passenger behaviour and responsibility on public transport.
