Still railway needs find innovative ways to provide safe access between platform, now days platforms became longer, need more safe passage at regular intervals on platforms — MohanV (@vmohan388) July 17, 2022 Sharing the CCTV footage of the dramatic save, the force mentioned that the man was trying to cross the tracks when the incident occurred. Railway authorities routinely warn people against crossing directly over tracks or boarding moving trains as such actions can lead to fatal accidents. Commenting on the video, a Twitter user wrote, “RPF personnel who saved the precious life of a man deserve due recognition of their work and deserve awards from @RailMinIndia”. Another person wrote, “#RPF doing great job in keeping railway station safe. Still railway needs (to) find innovative ways to provide safe access between platform, now days platforms became longer, need more safe passage at regular intervals on platforms”.
