A fireman turned up for morning drill barefoot and totally drunk at a fire station in South Indian city of Vishakapatnam.<br /><br />The fire station head quickly head noticed that there was something amiss about fireman Mangaraju. <br /><br />He asked other firemen to stand at ease and turned his attention to Mangaraju, who was tottering, and asked him to carry out specific drill instructions. <br /><br />What followed were scenes straight from a Charlie Chaplin movie. <br /><br />When asked to do about-turns, Mangaraju went in all directions stomping his feet as his colleagues scrambled to dodge him. <br /><br />At the end it was all too much and the drunk man lost way and balance, and waded into a bike, which was parked at a distance.<br /><br />Officials assured stringent action would be taken action against Mangaraju after a thorough enquiry. <br /><br />Ironically, the incident occurred on October 2, when India celebrated the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, who advocated total prohibition.
