Mangaluru, August 08: MP Nalin Kumar Kateel on Friday August 7th, honoured Frank Fernandes, whose timely action averted a possible train mishap on August 1st.

Frank, a farmer while moving on the railway track on Saturday morning August 1st, had noticed a fragmentation on the railway track at Bondel-Pachanady after which he had stopped the Mangaluru-Madgaon Intercity Express by waving at the train – a bunch of red flowers available at the spot.

Also Mangaluru North MLA Mohiuddin Bava recently had honoured and rewarded for his brave deed.

MP Nalin Kumar Kateel visited Frank with his supporters and honoured him by garlanding him, draping with a shawl, ‘peta’ and rewarded Rs 2,500 on behalf of Palakkad division of Southern Railway. He was also presented with a certificate of merit.

MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said, the deed of Frank Fernandes is laudable. “Through the media, I came to know about this heroic act of Frank and immediately in a letter I have informed the railway minister about it and urged that he be honoured on behalf of the railway department for his deed. This is a good message to the society. Railway minister has also asked the Chennai department to honour Frank. The railway ministry itself will honour him, in the coming days” he said.

I congratulate him on behalf of the citizens of Dakshina Kannada. His deed makes the entire district proud, said MP Nalin Kumar Kateel.
