Driver seeks shelter under umbrella as engine leak occurs on Indian Railways

A video circulating on social media shows a disturbing scene in the driver’s cabin of an Indian train: rainwater pours in like a waterfall, forcing the train driver to protect himself with an umbrella. The video, shared by Sachin Gupta, highlights operational challenges on the railways that impact safety and operational reliability.

A video of water dripping into the train’s cab goes viral. In it, the driver operates the controls with one hand and shields himself from the rain with an umbrella. Gupta’s post highlights concerns about railway infrastructure and operating standards.

Social media has been a major response, with internet users expressing their dismay at the conditions faced by rail staff and passengers alike. Comments ranged from questions about the state of the infrastructure to sarcastic remarks about the official response.

According to an investigation, poorly maintained tracks were cited as the reason for the Chandigarh-Dibrugarh Express accident. Although this was cited as the reason by the inquiry committee, more than half of the panel’s members openly disagreed with the findings. Hasty conclusions by railway officials have only complicated the matter further.

The incidents highlight the challenges faced by the Indian Railways in maintaining safety and efficiency across its vast network. The leaked video and the derailment investigation essentially highlight the need for a robust infrastructure maintenance system and transparent communication with the public. While discussions continue, passengers and stakeholders now await concrete measures to address these concerns.
