Southern Railway drops action against loco pilots of relief engine

Southern Railway has withdrawn the charge sheet proposing punishment against loco pilots of a relief engine in Salem Division.

Claiming that the loco pilots were not pressured into violating safety rules, a railway spokesperson on March 30 said that the disciplinary action was initiated only on the grounds that they did not contact the Traction Loco Controller (TLC). However, the action was dropped after thorough “counselling of the employees”.
