A video from Karnataka’s Yadgir Railway Station is drawing widespread attention online. It captures a ticket clerk casually ignoring a long queue of passengers while talking on his phone. Despite the growing crowd, the staffer remains seated, appearing indifferent and disengaged from his duties. The scene has sparked frustration not only among commuters but also across social media, with users slamming the clerk’s unprofessional behaviour. Following the backlash, the RailSeva team responded, stating that action has been taken against the employee.
According to the video, one frustrated passenger finally raises his voice at the ticket clerk, who calmly tells him to wait for a minute. However, the passenger, clearly irritated, points out that he’s been hearing the same excuse for the past 15 minutes while the clerk continues to ignore the line. Others in the queue also appear visibly upset. It’s only after sensing the growing anger from the crowd that the staff member finally ends his phone call and begins issuing tickets.
The video posted on X came with the caption, “Rude Yadgir Railway Ticket Clerk Ignores Passengers, Busy on Call While Crowd Shouts for Help, No Apology, No Courtesy. Immediate Dismissal Demanded. What kind of action will be taken against him? See his arrogance, please update about the action.”
Soon after the video started circulating on the internet, RailwaySeva replied to the video, “This complaint is already registered in RailMadad and concerned officials are looking into it.”
Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “Please terminate such people on the spot without any explanation. He has no respect or discipline for the work he is doing.”
Another shared, “Very bad attitude and behaviour during business hours. Outside, more than 10 people are in the queue, but this gentleman is having fun over the phone.”
“There are better people who are unemployed and willing to work hard,” a comment read.
An individual stated, “Kannadigas must protest at the station master’s office and get him removed.”
One more added, “This is done to create panic at the counter when the train arrives. These people take this opportunity to loot Rs 10- 20 from each passenger. I have witnessed this many times at many places. Now, even with this video proof, nothing will happen to this guy.”
As of now, it is still unclear whether the railway staff has removed the man from his position or not.
