Social media power: 3 youths arrested for drinking in Patna-Bengaluru train
Patna, Dec 19: Social media has undoubtedly emerged as one of the powerful tools in spreading the information in the 21st century.
If you are going through any problem or any difficult phase in your life and if you smartly utilise the power of social media, then, you will get uncountable solutions to combat it.
Recently, a great example of social media came across when a girl was travelling from Patna to Bengaluru in Sanghmitra Express 12295.
In her coach, there were three youths who were drinking and that made her feel uncomfortable and unsafe, considering the rising crimes against women.
The girl swiftly shared the pics of those boys with her brother on the microblogging site Twitter.
The girl's brother, then shared the tweet with the Ministry of Railways (@RailMinIndia) and with the Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu (@sureshpprabhu).
Within a short span of time, the tweet went viral and it was retweeted many times.
The railway authorities took note of the tweet and promptly initiated an action by alerting the police.
The railway police soon boarded the train and arrested the miscreants, who were caught drinking.
The railway ministry and the concerned authorities got huge admiration from the social media.
