Jamnagar RPF Constable Saves 61-Year-Old Passenger Who Fell Between Train And Platform

A 61-year-old passenger had a narrow escape at Jamnagar railway station on Saturday, October 3, after he lost his balance while trying to board a moving train and fell into the gap between the train and the platform.

His life was saved after RPF Constable Amit Dahiya, who was deployed on duty at the platform, reacted swiftly and pulled him to safety.

Passenger Gets Off To Fetch Water

The passenger, identified as Batuk Das, 61, was travelling from Rajkot to Dwarka by Train No. 59551 Rajkot–Okha Passenger.

When the train stopped at Jamnagar station, Das got down to fetch water.

After getting the water, he attempted to board the train as it began moving.

In the process, he lost his balance and fell between the moving train and the platform.

RPF Constable Acts Within Seconds

Dahiya, who was on duty on the platform, immediately noticed the incident and sprang into action.

Without losing time, the RPF constable pulled Das out of the dangerous gap and brought him safely onto the platform.

ASI Mukesh Kumar, along with other railway staff, also reached the spot following the incident.

The passenger was examined and, after it was confirmed that he was safe, he was helped back onto the same train.

The train was subsequently allowed to continue its journey.

Passenger Escapes Without Injury

Despite the seriousness of the incident, Das did not suffer any injuries.

The quick intervention by the RPF constable prevented what could have turned into a serious railway accident.

Railway Appeals To Passengers

Railway authorities have once again appealed to passengers not to board or alight from a moving train.

Passengers should wait until the train has come to a complete stop before boarding or getting down.

Railway officials have warned that even a moment's carelessness while attempting to board or leave a moving train can result in a serious accident.
