The video shows 12 women singing a song. A few can also be seen singing the song by looking at the lyrics from their phones.

Watch the video here:

An individual wrote, "How much extra do I have to pay to shut up such passengers creating a public nuisance? Are you encouraging this behaviour? What if somebody just wants to sleep in this modern, silent-operation train?"

A second said, "Honestly, irritating. They can wear headphones and listen to their song, or maybe get down and do group activities. If I am paying a premium to travel, I need a good and comfortable sleep, streaming music of my personal choice through headphones. Don't make this a new normal."

"It is not a symphony. It noise to fellow passengers who did not pay to get into this chaotic circus," posted a third.

A fourth commented, "Please stop promoting these things because already there is a big nuisance of influencers/ vloggers/ loud sound from phones on trains spoiling the peaceful travel."

A fifth shared, "I think railways should stop such noise inside. Why would people prefer noisy trains? People want to travel in peace on the general trains. Specific tour compartments booked by a group may enjoy these, not others. Ashwini Vaishnaw, I think these are not to be encouraged."
