Video: Railway staff’s daring act saves a life in WB
The Ministry of Railways Thursday posted a clip showing one of its staff saving a life, just in the nick of time. In the 24-second CCTV footage from the Balichak railway station in Paschim Medinipur district of West Bengal, one can see railway staff H. Satish Kumar signalling with a green flag to an upcoming goods train.
Just before Kumar turns away from the platform, he sees someone lying on the tracks. Kumar immediately runs towards the man and jumps on the tracks. He then pulls him up and carries him away to the empty space between the tracks. Seconds later a train passes past them.
