Man smokes inside train in front of kids, elders; Indian Railways takes prompt action

The Indian Railways, in yet another instance, took proactive action to reprimand a reckless and indisciplined passenger. The latest incident was aboard the Bhuj Bareilly Express (Train no. 14322) where a youngster was seen smoking in front of kids in his coach. The complaint was made by a fellow passenger who was onboard the train and filmed the entire incident where the passenger was seen lighting his cigarette with kids on the seat next to him. Tagging the IRCTC and Ministry of Railways, the passenger tweeted that the smoker even abused senior citizens when they asked him to put off his cigarette. 

"Passengers lighting cigarettes in front of kids and senior citizen and abusing when all are stopping them. Please take action as soon as possible (sic)", the complainant tweeted.
