The video has sparked outrage, with many users accusing the train driver and assistant of irresponsibility, as their actions allegedly caused traffic to halt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Investigation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We reached out to the complaint division of the Sri Lanka Railways, who confirmed that the incident took place at the Waikkala railway station in the Puttalam&nbsp; district. The train, which travels from Bangadeniya to Colombo, is relatively long, and when it stops at Waikkala station, part of the train extends into the road at the railway crossing. This blockage is unavoidable given the train&#8217;s length and the station&#8217;s layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The driving assistant&#8217;s action of buying food during this routine stop is a&nbsp; not an act of irresponsibility as this way of train stoppage is daily routine in this railway station . To gain further insight, we contacted several local residents, who confirmed that this is a regular practice at the Waikkala station and that the social media posts have misinterpreted the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In below map, we can clearly detect how small the railway station and how near it to the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1724122960450!6m8!1m7!1syhvTDimpM2tHNytB8vz9Fw!2m2!1d7.27661549527337!2d79.86028304056151!3f341.38!4f-7.030000000000001!5f1.5204554155564356\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Media Clarification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several media outlets and social media posts have since clarified the true nature of the incident, explaining that the video was taken out of context.
