A video shows a man exiting a train in Bihar to open a railway crossing gate. In the video, the man who identified himself as a "guard," was not wearing a white uniform.

A video has surfaced on social media showing a man getting off a train in the Siwan district of Bihar to open the railway crossing. The viral clip begins with a local reporter showing the closed railway crossing gate while a train passes by.

When the train stops, the man who seems to be a railways guard gets down and walks to the crossing gate. He then opens the gate after which the vehicular traffic resumes. 

Though the guard is questioned by the reporter regarding the bizarre incident, he remains silent. He then returns to the train and boards it, while the train starts to move.

While sharing the clip in a post on X, the user wrote, “Wonder of the world The train guard or driver gets down and opens the railway gate. Is this the development of Bihar? Or is it the result of the hard work of the Railway Minister (Reel Mantri)?”

Reacting to the video, an Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS) officer, J Sanjay Kumar, wrote on his X, “Unmanned gates are completely abolished for public safety. Sections with few trains there is a concept of mobile gate man in order to not waste staff in 3 shifts at gates, 2 gatemen come with train. The front closes the gate & at back opens. He is not a Guard. They are in white uniform.”
