Bihar traveller appeals train passengers to maintain cleanliness aboard, wins praise. Watch

The video drew a strong reaction online, with many users appreciating both the tone and intention of his intervention.

A young man from Bihar drew widespread attention on social media after a video showed him requesting fellow train passengers to stop discarding rubbish inside the coach and to take basic responsibility for public spaces. The clip, which circulated across multiple platforms, captured him addressing the compartment in a calm and steady manner, asking everyone to pause briefly and listen.

He was heard saying that those using their phones should switch them off for a short moment and give attention to his message. He pointed out that the train had been provided for public use by the government and should be treated as our heritage. He added that anyone travelling with a large bag could easily carry a small additional bag for waste.

He stressed that shared transport needed to be kept tidy. He encouraged passengers to collect their own rubbish in a small plastic bag, keep it secured during the journey, and throw it into an appropriate bin instead of dropping it on the floor or through the window. He spoke in Hindi and even Bhojpuri for the ones who did not understand Hindi.

The youth went on to say that passengers frequently purchased items from onboard vendors and then threw the wrapping or containers on the ground. He asked the coach whether they believed this behaviour was acceptable and prompted them to respond. He remarked that many people complained that “India is dirty” or “Bihar is dirty”, but argued that such conditions were largely shaped by the actions of individuals.

No Slogans. No Drama. Just Civic Sense.

The video drew a strong reaction online, with many users appreciating both the tone and intention of his intervention. One person commented that the message was “truly inspiring” and that genuine shifts in behaviour did not require extravagance but simple awareness. The comment added that if more young people adopted similar habits, the state could move towards a cleaner and more responsible future.

Another viewer supported the intent but pointed out practical challenges, noting that the dustbins in each coach were too small and that, in their experience, accumulated waste was later thrown onto the tracks by cleaning staff. "Good move but frankly speaking the dust bin allocated to each compartment is very small and reality is all the trash is thrown on railway tracks by the staff while cleaning. There is absolutely no point to throw the trash in bin.. its a task to manage the trash while traveling," the user wrote.

A separate user remarked, "We need more people like him in every state, every city, and every locality. Great job!
Real change begins with individuals who take responsibility instead of blaming others."
