A potentially fatal incident at Prayagraj Junction was avoided when three Railway Protection Special Force (RPSF) personnel rushed to rescue a woman who had fallen underneath a moving train. The accident took place on Platform 1 as the Prayagraj Express was departing the station. The woman reportedly attempted to disembark the rapidly moving train but lost her balance and fell onto the platform, becoming trapped beneath the locomotive.
RPSF Assistant Sub-Inspector Mahesh Kumar Haritwal, along with constables Pravesh Kumar and Basant from the RPSF's 2nd Battalion, immediately sprang into action. The personnel activated the emergency chain, halting the train's progress. They then boldly approached the woman, who was pinned beneath the train, and carefully extricated her from the perilous situation.
The rescue was completed within approximately five minutes, averting what could have been a major catastrophe. CCTV footage recorded the dramatic rescue at Prayagraj Junction, showing the RPSF personnel swiftly responding to the distressed passenger and extricating her safely. Their prompt intervention ensured that the woman was rescued unharmed, preventing a tragic railway accident.
The rescue operation fell under RPSF's Operation Jeevan Raksha, an initiative dedicated to safeguarding passengers and responding to emergencies at railway stations and around moving trains. After being safely rescued, the woman expressed her gratitude to the RPSF personnel for their courage and prompt response during the emergency.
This incident once again underscores the grave risks associated with trying to board or disembark a moving train and the paramount importance of adhering to railway safety protocols while traveling.
