What’s Behind the Viral Video Exposing Pakistan's Train Woes Amid Tensions?
Viral Video Highlights Deteriorating Conditions of Pakistani Train
Amid rising tensions following the tragic Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 innocent lives, a video showcasing the poor state of a Pakistani train has gone viral on social media platforms.
In a notable response to the attack, Yuvraj Singh and his teammates withdrew from a league match against the Pakistan Champions during the World Championship of Legends 2025. The emotional climate surrounding this incident has amplified the video's visibility online.
The footage, reportedly taken inside the Awam Express train, reveals a coach in a shocking state of disrepair. Viewers can see broken seats, with stones taking the place of proper seating, and rusted iron rods indicating neglect within the Pakistani railway system.
The individual filming the video can be heard expressing concern, stating, “Look, Pakistanis, I am currently on the Awam Express train. Today is July 28. This is how the Awam Express looks. Seats are broken. Accidents can occur in such conditions. The bogie is completely decayed.” He further questions, “If there’s any damage to the bogie, how many lives could be at risk?” The man urges the Pakistani government and railway officials to take action to rectify the situation.
The authenticity of the video has not been independently verified.
Nonetheless, the footage has ignited a flurry of reactions on social media, with users making sarcastic remarks about the train's condition. One comment read, “Toilets in India are cleaner than Pakistani trains.” Another quipped, “Brother, this is our train from 1941.” Some comments took a political turn, with one user stating, “...and they want Kashmir.” Another remarked, “Whatever we received during partition is still ongoing.” A user suggested, “Beg some money from China and get it built.”
This viral video has become a significant topic of discussion online, especially in the context of the already strained relations between India and Pakistan.
