He was seen setting up his makeshift hammock with a bedsheet from his luggage by tightly tying it to the available poles near the berths.

A video purportedly from a Bihar-bound train showed a man trying to find himself a comfortable space in the crowded coach. He was seen setting up his makeshift hammock with a bedsheet from his luggage by tightly tying it to the available poles near the berths. However, the jugaad looked like a good one but failed to carry his weight. WATCH VIDEO:

The video opened showing a passenger preparing a hammock connecting two upper berths to enjoy a nap during the train travel, however, things didn’t go as he wished. As soon as he landed inside it, the bedsheet opened leading to the man’s fall. The man dramatically fell on the floor, hurting other commuters seated there in the crowded premises.

Netizens react

As he was believed to be a ticketless passenger, people condemned the act of boarding the transport without a valid ticket and the audacity of making a train hammock. “This is how 80 percent of people travel in Indian railway. Focus should be on increasing normal train…” said an X user, while another wrote, “Dear @AshwiniVaishnaw, this is happening more often. Can you please do something about this?”

There was a time when I was asked to move to the general compartment for I was having WL (bought at the station window) status. Now, are they allowed even in the AC compartment? Strange. @RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnawhttps://t.co/2aj1VdmyFB
