Jugaad at its best! WATCH man’s unique way using railway tracks to attend Maha Kumbh goes viral

In today's digital era, social media platforms are flooded with viral content every day. From Instagram and Facebook to X (formerly Twitter), countless videos and photos capture the attention of millions. One such video has recently gone viral, leaving netizens both amused and astonished.

What’s in the video?

The widely circulated clip, recorded near railway tracks, showcases an unusual sight—a loading van running seamlessly on railway tracks. While seeing trains on tracks is a common occurrence, this video presents a completely different spectacle.

In the footage, the van’s regular wheels have been removed and replaced with train wheels, enabling it to move effortlessly on the railway tracks. The exact location and time of the recording remain unclear, but the video has gained significant traction across social media platforms.

महाकुंभ जाने का लास्ट ऑप्शन 😑

क्योंकि ट्रेनों में पैर रखने तक की जगह नहीं है, बसों के टिकट पहले से बुक हो चुके हैं और पर्सनल गाड़ी लेकर जाएँ तो पुलिस वाले 100-150 km पहले ही रुकवाकर वापिस भेज रहे हैं।😏 pic.twitter.com/nHVTRuOmDw

Where did this video originate from?

The viral clip was shared on X (Twitter) by a user with the handle @JATtilok_. The post’s caption humorously reads, "The last option to reach Mahakumbh, as there’s no space in trains, bus tickets are already sold out, and if you take a personal vehicle, the police turn you back 100-150 km before reaching."

Internet reacts with amusing comments

Since being posted, the video has amassed over 800,000 views and received thousands of comments. While some netizens found the innovative jugaad technology fascinating, others pointed out the potential risks involved.

One user commented, "Great idea!" while another joked, "Looks like a mini bullet train!" A third user remarked, "Ingenious hack!" However, some expressed concerns, stating, "No one is being sent back. Stop spreading rumors." Another humorously added, "If a train comes from the opposite side, it’ll be an instant journey to the afterlife!"

Surge in crowd heading towards Mahakumbh

Currently, the influx of devotees traveling to Mahakumbh is overwhelming transportation systems. Trains and buses are packed beyond capacity, causing significant travel challenges. As a result, people are coming up with unconventional solutions to reach the pilgrimage site.

This viral video once again highlights the extent of India’s jugaad technology. However, while such improvisations can be fascinating, using unauthorized vehicles on railway tracks poses serious safety hazards. Authorities continue to monitor the situation as the Mahakumbh crowd surges.
