The Mobile Gatekeeper

The full journey from Dhamtari to Telibandha in Raipur takes three hours and five minutes with nine station halts on the route. And there are some 19  ‘gates’ or level crossings of which just two or three are manned. “My job is to open and shut the gates,” says Kanhaiyalal Gupta. “Earlier there used to be gatekeepers for these crossings, but now I have been appointed as the mobile gatekeeper. I used to be a gangman but was promoted to this post which I’ve held for two years. I enjoy my work.” He is certainly dedicated and hard-working. (And would be earning less than 20 thousand rupees a month).
