Gulf Today Report

Maharashtra security personnel stationed at a railway platform saved the life of a woman from getting crushed under the wheels of a train.

The woman was about to fall into the gap between the platform and the train while trying to board the running train at Dombivli railway station.

A video of the incident was shared on local media.

The video showed the security personnel rushing in just in time to save the woman after she lost balance and fell on the platform.

The woman was assisted back to a chair and was given water to drink.  

Authorities have urged commuters to refrain from such activities to avert tragedies.  

In a similar incident that took place last month, a pointsman attached to the Kalyan railway station in Mumbai saved the life of a 40-year-old man trying to board the moving Howrah-Mumbai special train and slipped through the gap between the platform and the track.

The Indian government mandated full vaccination for all citizens, including essential workers and government employees, for availing local and state train services.

Mumbai's local rail services resumed in August for fully vaccinated passengers after a four-month hiatus.

Passengers were barred from travelling on local trains during the first week of April following the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
