Watch|Woman falls while trying to board moving train, RPF personnel averts tragedy

The Indian Railways has time and again advised people not to board or deboard a moving train as this can put them in danger. Despite several warnings and reports of accidents, there are many who still do not follow the safety protocols.

On similar lines, a woman was recently caught trying to board a moving train and falling abruptly. The incident took place in Raipur station in Chhattisgarh and the shocking footage was captured in a CCTV camera that was installed on the platform.

In the video, a woman can be seen approaching the train while it is still moving. She then attempts to jump in but falls below the train in an extremely dangerous way.

A Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, who was walking on the platform at that time, rushed to her safety and prevented the woman from falling into the gap between the platform and the train.
