Viral Video Shows Woman Carries Pot Of Chicken & Rice On Train

A video shared on X shows the woman sitting on the upper berth with multiple pots and containers filled with food.

The unusual sight quickly caught the attention of social media users.

“Everyone knows what kind of food you get on the train. I think that’s exactly why they’ve come prepared with all their own arrangements to avoid it,” another person commented.
