No toilet break, train drivers seek NHRC help
• The engines where locomotive drivers have to be present for 12 hours do not have toilets for them.
• These drivers complain they are working in cruel conditions and don't get a break, even for few minutes, to eat something or to attend nature's call.
• The railway board, however, believes that the drivers of trains-- passenger, express,...
more... high speed and cargo--cannot be given a break in the interest of the public.
• Railways has claimed often that it was not feasible to authorise crew to halt a running train for taking refreshments and answer nature's call as it may lead to unnecessary delays and adversely affect the operation of other trains.
