Gujarat / Gandhinagar: Railway guard became God for an elderly person! Saved from death, incident captured in CCTV
The courage and sense of duty of a railway security guard saved an elderly man from being crushed by a train at Gujarat’s Vapi station on Tuesday. The entire incident was captured in the CCTV camera installed at the railway station. After the video of the incident surfaced, everyone is praising the security guard.
Security guard saved the life of an elderly man
In the CCTV footage that has surfaced, many people are seen crossing the tracks to go from one platform to another, which is against the rules of the Railways. But this is a common thing, you must have also seen that except the foot over bridge at the station, the platforms are changed from the railway track itself. Similarly, on Tuesday, people were seen changing platforms from the side of the tracks at Vapi station in Gujarat. At this time, an elderly man can be seen crossing the tracks as the Surat-Bandra Terminus intercity train is entering the station around 6 pm. As the train approaches, the elderly man stumbles and falls between the tracks. GRP personnel are seen jumping from the platform and running towards the elderly person. When the train was a few meters away, he catches the man and pulls him away from the tracks and a major accident is averted.
Who is that railway worker who became God for the elderly?
The name of the railway security guard who saved the life of the elderly person is Veerabhai Meru. The GRP worker saved the life of an elderly person by risking his own life. Despite warning people against crossing the tracks and imposing fines, the Railways has failed to curb the act. Commuters, including women and children, often use this dangerous route to save a few minutes.
