Only a few days ago, a passenger fell on the platform while boarding a moving train at Charni Road railway station as well, when a railway police officer promptly intervened. The railway ministry has posted these rescues as a means to promote responsible travel, dubbing it as Mission Jeevan Raksha.

Last month, a similar incident occurred when a 40-year-old man was rescued at Andheri railway station in Mumbai after he slipped and fell attempting to board a moving train.

The man was carrying two bags and was seen running on the platform to catch the Lok Shakti Express. However, he slipped and fell in the gap between the train and the platform, right as the train was about to depart.
