Cuttack: A RPF SI rescued a woman and her infant child from getting killed on the railway tracks in Cuttack of Odisha on Wednesday. If it had been too late, the mother and child would have been crushed by the train’s wheels.
In what may have been a family dispute, a mother nearly killed herself by sitting on the railway track with her newborn child. A Green signal had already been given for route number two, on which the train was supposed to run, and the train was on its way.
Death, however, was not what God had in mind for the mother and her child. Personnel from the RPF (Railway Protection Force) appeared at the right time. The RPF officer immediately took her away from the scene after calming her down and explaining how dangerous it was for her to do this. Two precious lives would have been lost if the police had not acted bravely.
This incident happened last night. A woman from Marsalbagh decided to lay down her life over a family dispute. So she went over to the train track and sat down while holding her newborn baby. Meanwhile, SI Roji Mahananda and ASI Smriti Ranjan Sahu noticed her. They rushed over and saved the woman’s life. After counselling, Cuttack RPF returned the woman to her family.
