A video from Jalandhar Cantt Railway Station showing a heated dispute between a passenger and a ticket agent over exact change has gone viral. The incident, where the employee refused to issue a ticket and threatened to call security, prompted an official response from the Ministry of Railways after gaining widespread attention online.
A video of a dispute between a passenger and a female railway ticket agent at Jalandhar Cantt Railway Station has gone viral online. The dispute apparently began when the cashier insisted on precise change for a ticket and refused to proceed with the reservation.
In the video, the passenger can be heard asking for a ticket and handing over money. However, the woman behind the counter appeared to insist on obtaining the exact fee. The issue quickly becomes tense as the passenger argues that he should be able to buy the ticket even if he doesn’t have the exact change.
As the discussion progresses, the passenger offers to make the payment digitally instead. Despite this recommendation, the employee is shown refusing to proceed with the ticket booking. The dispute intensifies, with the clerk apparently threatening to summon the Railway Protection Force (RPF) throughout the confrontation.
The clip was posted online with a caption accusing the staff member of mistreating passengers and refusing to return balance money. The post read: “Passenger Harassment at Jalandhar Cantt Railway Station. Kindly take cognizance.” It further alleged that the employee behaved poorly with travellers, declined to issue a ticket, and instead warned that security personnel would be called.
