On May 30, as Train No 12201 DN LTT-Kochuveli Garibrath Express was departing from platform number 4 at LTT, a passenger attempting to board the moving train fell and slipped into the gap between the train and the platform, said railway officials. Ram Narayan Singh, an RPF constable from Central Railway's Mumbai division, immediately ran to his aid. Singh grabbed the passenger and pulled him to safety.
"After the incident, the passenger appeared to be in extreme distress. He explained that a family emergency at his hometown made him desperate to catch the train and hence, he took the risk to board a moving train. He was counselled and given proper guidance to safely continue his journey," said a senior CR official.

1 2 Jamshedpur: After a major derailment was avoided, officials of the Chakradharpur railway division have gone on alert mode to prevent such incidents caused by miscreants. Late on Sunday, the Itwari-Tatanagar Express (18110) narrowly missed a major accident after it ran over a rock placed by miscreants on the down line near the Sonua railway station in Chakradharpur, West Singhbhum. An immediate investigation by the track maintenance staff, along with the Railway Police Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel, into the incident found that large stones were placed on three adjoining tracks on both up and down lines. Incidentally, the Shalimar-LTT Express, the Karambhoomi Superfast Express, and the Tatanagar-Itwari train, which were about to proceed towards Rourkela, were stopped at the Sonua station till the stones were removed. According to railway officials, a joint team of railway security and state police has been formed for surveillance of the tracks on the Chakradharpur-Rourkela section on an immediate basis. Additionally, four separate teams of RPF visited nearby villages at Sonua station on Tuesday to counsel the villagers, particularly the teenagers. "Along with the counselling, an extensive probe is underway to identify the culprits for necessary legal action," the senior divisional manager (commercial) of Chakradharpur division, Aditya Chaudhary, said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Foods That Help In Healing Knee Pain Naturally | Zen Life Mag Undo Earlier on August 7, the Howrah-Pune Duronto Express avoided a potentially serious accident when it hit a six-meter-long rail (a disintegrated piece of the track) lying on the track at the Mahadevsal station. The impact of the collision was so significant that the rail flew into the air and landed on a passenger seating bench on the platform. Fortunately, no one was sitting on the bench at the time.
