Bhubaneswar: Prompt action of a RPF constable saved the lives of two women at Bhubaneswar railway station on Wednesday. The RPF personnel S Munda pulled out two women to safety while they were about to fall and get trapped between the moving train and platform.
The incident took place at around 10 am when the Palasa passenger was departing after a brief halt. While all the passengers had deboarded, two women were late and trying to jump off the moving train.
