Excessive time taken at railway crossing

At Railway Crossing in Kalka to Shimla narrow gauge route, the first crossing at Kalka near Railway workshop and another crossing at Taksaal railway station, I am continously observing that the time taken is often more than 15 minutes and some times even more than 25 minutes. Many people struggle a great deal while going to their offices, schools or to Railway station and miss the trains also. In case of emergencies also it is a very time spending affair. It is also a great wastage of time and petrol and man hours.

I have seen in some aRailways advertisements that a level crossing takes only maximum 5 minutes. I fail to understand that why the specified norms can not be complied in this age of technology.

I seek your intervention so that this problem, which leads to many troubles and great loss of national resoureces can be sorted out amicably.

Thanks
