Railway stations in India have the facility of foot over bridges that are designed for people to cross from one platform to another. However, some people still try to do so by crossing through tracks and risking their lives. One such incident is shown in this video, where two elderly women are seen crossing the tracks with a train approaching the station. Thankfully, however, cops help them climb onto the platform in the nick of time to avoid an otherwise dangerous situation.
The video is posted on the official Twitter handle of the Ministry of Railways. The caption, written in Hindi, when translated reads, “Safety is paramount! Vigilant RPF and GRP personnel saved the lives of two elderly women crossing the tracks at Hoshangabad railway station in Madhya Pradesh. Please always use the foot over bridge to move from one platform to another.”
