This person has the courage to save a person by putting his own life in danger and also the dedication towards his work,” wrote a Twitter user. “Only a tweet is not enough, give him proper appreciation and publicity through Indian railways public information system or other medium. They should call RailVeer. Indian people should know the social responsibility of being Indian Railways employee too,” urged another. “Please reward him so as to motivate others to do the same, though no money can buy the courage to risk one's own life to save other person's life. Salute to this brave heart,” expressed another.
