Why was the passenger in such haste?

After the incident, the passenger was in a nervous and distressed state. Upon asking, he revealed that there was a family emergency at home and that is why, he anyhow wanted to catch the train.

Later, he was counseled regarding the repercussions of his actions and provided guidance about the same. The station officials then ensured his safe return home.

Stay vigilant 

Train accidents are not uncommon, and they can happen due to the carelessness of both the railway staff and the passengers. In 2025 alone, 13 people lost their lives in such accidents.

However, we can pay attention to what we can improve to ensure a safe journey and that includes minding the gap between the train and platform while boarding the train.  

Make sure the train has completely stopped before deboarding and never try the stunt of boarding a moving train.

Adding to that, the Gujarat High Court once ruled in favour of the railway administration and clearly stated that boarding a moving train should be considered a ‘criminal offence’ and ‘no compensation’ will be offered to the injured by the railway administration.

Such instances serve as a warning to the public to mind their actions while traveling.
