Respected Sir,

This is regarding a goods train drivers misuse of authority. I started from home to catch a train in Sitafalmandi (MMTS) for which I have to go through a Railway crossing near Neredmet old police station. Today (09th Aug 2010), the gate was closed for a goods train to pass. The good train arrived till the gate and slowed down right near the railway crossing and the driver got down from the running train, there was another driver in the train who stopped the train. The driver who got down the train went to a near by hotel, took some breakfast parcel for both of them, and came back to the train and got into the driver seat, and the train started. This process took 15 mins with many commuters stranded at the railway crossing at nearly 4 different locations. This is complete misuse of authority and leaves so many office and school goers stranded, I nearly missed my train and so many might have gone late to their work or schools. Please take strict action so that this will not repeat again.
