On Wednesday, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation entertained and catered to many of its followers on Twitter with a single badass tweet. IRCTC tweeted in response to a man’s complaint about obscene advertisements popping up on the official IRCTC website.
This complaint was posted with a couple of screenshots of the website and accompanying ads as a proof. Moreover, the man went on to tag the current Minister of Railways as well in his tweet apart from tagging IRCTC’s official twitter handle.
What made this tweet a trending thread was IRCTC’s very professional but witty reply.
IRCTC, with a clear intention to educate and provide a solution to the complaint, tweeted that the man should clear his browsing history to avoid ‘obscenity’. This subtle but savage reply from Ministry of Railways made way for a thousand comments and memes.
Within 24 hours the tweet has gone viral and people are replying to it because the Twitterverse seems to be so impressed by IRCTC’s subtle repartee.
So, this was the tea for today served by our very own Ministry of Railways.
