When Event
A major accident was averted at Gaya railway station on Tuesday. A disabled passenger suddenly lost his balance while trying to board a moving train while trying to board the Gaya-Patna MEMU train from platform number 4. After falling on the platform, the passenger started moving rapidly towards the gap between the train and the platform. Seeing this, two RPF personnel on duty rushed towards him without delay. The incident took place on October 6, 2026.
The incident took place when train number 63254 was departing from
Gaya station via Gaya-Patna MEMU platform number 4. Passengers were constantly being forbidden to board the moving train. Meanwhile, a disabled passenger tried to board a moving train. Due to the slipping of his foot, he fell on the platform and started dragging along the train towards the dangerous gap between the platform and the train. RPF Assistant Sub Inspector Balwant Kumar Singh and Constable Sawan Kumar, who were on duty, immediately took charge. The two jawans, without caring for their lives, caught the passenger and pulled him away from the train to a safe place.
A delay of just a few seconds could have proved fatal for the passenger, but the readiness of the soldiers averted a major accident. The entire incident has been captured in the CCTV camera installed on the ladder located at the Delhi end of platform number-4. RPF has described it as an action taken under Operation Jeevan Raksha. The quick wit and courage of the two jawans saved the life of the disabled passenger. The incident once again conveys the message of how dangerous it can be to try to get on or off a moving train.
