Outrage erupts over video of woman's dance in Mumbai local; railways issue response

The popularity of people dancing in metro trains, railway platforms, and other public spaces has increased significantly in recent times. Despite facing criticism online and repeated warnings from authorities, content creators seem undeterred. In a recent incident, videos of a young woman dancing to Bhojpuri songs inside a moving local train in Mumbai and at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) emerged on the internet, causing outrage.
A video widely circulating on X, tagging GRP Mumbai, DRM Mumbai, and Railway Ministry, urging them to put a stop to such activities. The videos show the woman dancing suggestively inside both general and ladies' coaches of the Mumbai local trains and at the CMST station platform, causing inconvenience to other passengers.

The video was shared with the caption, ''Passengers can never travel in Peace inside #MumbaiLocals, Hawkers Beggars & now Reel makers. " Many people expressed their disapproval and labeled the act as a disturbance for other commuters. They described her dance as "obscene" and maintained that such behavior is unsuitable for public transport. Some also called for the authorities to take strict measures against her.
In response to the post, the official X handle of Mumbai Central DRM instructed the Security Department of Mumbai Division to look into the matter and take appropriate action. They replied, ''Thanks for information. Matter has been forwarded to concern officers to take necessary action.''
