The official X handle of the 💫N🌟orthern Railway responding to one of the many posts that shared the video said, "Slight water leakage was observed in coach because of temporary blockage of pipes!"
"The ♈same was attended and rectified by the staff on the train. The inconvenience 💙caused is regretted," it added.
However, this did not stop netizens from reacting to the incident, slamming the Railway Minis🐷try and its officials in anger and frustration.
One of the users wrote that the Railway Ministry "should refund🎀 the money to the passenger and apologise rather than" saying things like 'inconvenience is regretted'.
"Please don't defame. RailMin is providing shower facility for passengers. It's a goo🍌d step," an🦩other user said commented in humour.
Another remark read, "Every department is corrupt to the core," with one more saying, "Wow , incompetency at its peak. " Slight Leakage " !! Its a brand new train, what kind of path♎etic manufacturing quality is this?? Roof is leaking clearly."
