Indian vlogger's 'dirty New York Subway' video goes viral
An Indian travel content creator shared a video from his visit to a New York City subway station, and it didn't exactly paint the Big Apple in the most flattering clip, posted by Nitish Advitiy on Instagram, showed stained walls, littered platforms, and a general sense of urban now-viral video was captioned on-screen with 'New York subway dirtiest subway', setting the tone for what followed - an unfiltered look at a space used by millions Nitish didn't hold back. He walked through the platform, panning over corners soaked in urine and trash strewn across the floor. The footage prompted many online to question the global obsession with Western infrastructure, especially when such scenes mirror issues seen back home.'I haven't seen such a filthy station in my entire life. It is dirty and ill-maintained everywhere,' he says in the video, adding, 'There's garbage all over the tracks. This is not an exception; you'll see similar situations at most stations here.''The New York City subway's reputation for being dirty stems from a combination of factors, including heavy usage, ageing infrastructure, insufficient cleaning protocols, and a lack of consistent maintenance. The sheer volume of daily commuters makes it difficult to keep stations spotless, and outdated systems and a lack of investment in upkeep exacerbate the problem,' reads the caption of the a look at the post here:Watch the video here: Social media users flooded the comments section of the post. 'Many thanks to you for sharing the actual condition of the NY subway,' a user user pointed out the irony in Western comparisons, saying, 'Show it like this, brother. Some people sitting in India don't like India; they prefer Europe. Show them that Europe is big only in terms of Euros.''America is such a large country. It's almost a continent in itself, while India is just one country in Asia. It's unfair to compare the two. Every place has its ups and downs. In the US, people are allowed to carry licensed guns under the Second Amendment. That's a safety risk we don't face in India. On the other hand, slums are more common here than in the US, and our trains like the Janta Express or towns like Aligarh and Badaun, are not known for cleanliness. But we Indians are resilient, we work hard and don't stop until we succeed,' one of the users the clip called out New York's grime, it also held up a mirror to the universal struggles of urban life.- EndsMust Watch

B.Tech Graduate Poses As Ticket Checker To Marry Lover, Held For Duping Passengers
Last Updated: Adarsh Jaiswal was arrested by Varanasi GRP for posing as a TTE and selling fake tickets. He created a fake ID to marry his girlfriend. A man has been arrested by the Varanasi Government Railway Police (GRP) for allegedly posing as a Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) and duping passengers by selling fake tickets, officials said. Accused, identified as Adarsh Jaiswal, is a resident of Atriala in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa. He was arrested by the GRP and the Railway Police Force based on several complaints of fraud against him. A fake East Central Railway identity card and a TTE apron were recovered from him. According to officials, Jaiswal claimed during the investigation that he posed as a TTE to facilitate his marriage to his girlfriend. The accused, a graduate, was unemployed at the time. Varanasi GRP Inspector Rajaul Nagar said, 'He loved a woman and wanted to marry her, but his parents refused to get him married till he secured a job. That is why he resorted to such an act." Nagar stated that Jaiswal created the fake ID card at a cyber cafe in his village in March. Additionally, Jaiswal generated fake train tickets and sold them to passengers. The GRP Inspector cited an instance of fraud where Jaiswal sold a fake ticket for the Janta Express (Varanasi to Laksar, coach B-3) to Jyoti Kiran and Gungun. However, when Jyoti reached the station the following day, she found coach M-2 instead of B-3, prompting her brother to complain to the railway staff. 'He used to make fake tickets and mislead the people. A case has been registered against the accused and a probe is underway," he said. First Published: June 28, 2025, 12:51 IST
