The railway ministry shared a shocking video which shows a passenger slipping between the platform while a train was running at Mumbai Central Railway Station.
We often come across these videos from the railway stations, especially those from Mumbai, wherein commuters try to catch or deboard a moving train, amidst which they nearly risk their lives but are saved by alert railway staff. Recently, a railway policeman had jumped from a moving local train in Mumbai to save a woman who had tried to de-board the train and in that attempt, had fallen on the platform, very close to the train.
Now, again a new video has emerged where Railway Protection Force (RPF) staff have been praised for saving the life of a passenger.
A recent video shows a passenger dropping between the platform during a train moving at Mumbai Central Railway Station. In the video, RPF personnel recognised as Bharti Tiwari, a reservation supervisor, and another RPF personnel take timely action to save the passenger and bring him back to the platform.
A Life Saving Act!

After being shared online, the video accumulated over 18.2K views. Social media users praised RPF Personnel, who went beyond their duty to save the life of a passenger.
A user wrote, "Great work by railway staff. Always ready to help people." Another one commented, " these incidents are repeating one to many, requesting Rail authorities to have a visible layer of separator between the train and platform like the metro stations."
