In February this year, two Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel saved a youth who fell while getting off a moving train at the Warangal railway station in Telangana. Before that, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel saved a man who fell on the tracks inside the Shahdara Metro Station in Delhi. The commuter seemed busy on his mobile phone and fell onto the tracks as seen in the video.
