From fruits to sweets and nuts, countless food items are sold at railway stations. People buy and eat these items to fill their stomachs even during the busiest times. But some videos that have gone viral on social media raise questions about the quality of these foods. One such video has gone viral on social media. In the video, a woman is seen sitting on the platform floor and dyeing cucumbers green. According to the video, this incident took place at Katihar railway station in Bihar.

In the viral video, an elderly man is seen sitting on the platform floor. In front of him are two baskets filled with peeled cucumbers, their peels lying beside them. However, the cucumbers in one basket are greener and fresher than the other. The reason for this has been discovered. A mug of green paint is placed next to the baskets. She takes cucumbers from one basket, dips them in the color, and places them in the other basket. After dipping the cucumbers in the color, the seller does not hesitate to say that she is doing this to attract buyers. People standing on the platform are watching the woman's feat, but they are not gaining anything from it. She is silently painting the cucumbers. The video has gone viral on social media.
