We are always advised to be careful while boarding or de-boarding a train. And when it is in motion, any attempt to do so could prove fatal. However, there are still some who don't pay heed to the advice. In a video that has gone viral on the internet one person can be seen doing exactly that.
In the clip shared by the Ministry of Railways on the micro-blogging site Twitter, a man can be seen trying to board one of the compartments of a moving train in Bihar's Purnea as he loses his balance and falls down. He starts to get pulled into the gap between the train and the platform and was almost on the verge of being run over by the train when a Railway Protection Force (RPF) jawan pulls him out.
"An Alert RPF jawan saved a passenger who met with an accident while boarding a moving train in Bihar's Purnia. Please do not attempt to board/deboard a moving train,' read the caption of the post.
As soon as the video was shared, the comment box was full with praises for the jawan who rescued the man.
"Kudos to RPF jawan @RPF_INDIA I hope the close doors will be implemented soon in all railways," wrote one user.
"Valiant effort of RPF ..salute to him," wrote another user.
"Salute to this @RPF_INDIA Jawan who saved a life. May God bless you," wrote a third.
