A Punjabi traveller has caught social media’s attention after being surprised by the cleanliness and sanitation levels at a railway station in Kerala. In an Instagram video titled, ‘This is not Japan, it is Kerala,’ hitchhiker traveller @backpacker_anmol detailed that he had always heard about Kerala and its progressive people, but upon witnessing the quality and maintenance of public infrastructure, he was completely amazed.
“This is not Japan, it’s Kerala! Since childhood, we’ve always heard that Kerala is the state of educated and progressive people. But today, after coming here, I actually got to see that with my own eyes,” said Anmol.
In the now-viral clip, Anmol showed the railway platform that was devoid of litter, dust, and any form of garbage. Passengers were calmly waiting for the train to arrive while the tracks were similarly immaculate.
“Honestly, this is the first time in my life I’ve seen such a clean and beautiful railway station in India. It’s only my first day in Kerala, but after seeing this, I already have a feeling that this state is going to win my heart,” he said.
Moving along the platform, Anmol also showcased a comfortable seating area and a dedicated lounge equipped with massage chairs for waiting passengers.
