The blatant favouritism has greatly sullied the image of present Member Traffic

Finally, the infamous “Mr Natwarlal” made a gallant entry into the chamber of CFTM, South Eastern Railway dislodging the incumbent who was yet to complete his tenure.

As if that was not enough, this Natwarlal was also given additional charge of his previous post i.e. Director/Rail Movement which was not allowed by the Railway Minister to be upgraded for accommodating this Natwarlal.

The turn of events yesterday saw him appearing before the PCOM, SER for joining in the morning and when she asked him to wait for a few days he got the Member Traffic (MT) to send a message to the PCOM to organise his joining today.

All this was possible due to the exceptional favours bestowed by the Member Traffic, Railway Board for the reasons best known to only both these gentlemen.

This act of blatant favouritism has greatly sullied the image of the present MT as the beneficiary himself, who is a known name dropper, has been claiming all along that the MT had been taken care of “suitably” to make him CFTM of SER.

As per some senior traffic officers, throughout his entire career this officer got choice postings blackmailing the successive COMs brandishing his connection with ex Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and a few CBI officers.

He is also infamous for orchestrating fake complaints against senior colleagues and extorting from customers, senior officers said.

Now, this posting has created a wave of dissatisfaction and discontent among the senior Traffic officers while simultaneously creating a fear psychosis among the staff and customers.

Hope, the Railway Minister and Chairman, Railway Board will take note of it in the interest of the image of Indian Railways.
