Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel have been praised for saving the lives of passengers time and again as the Ministry of Railways frequently shares videos on social media showing how they rescue travellers.
The latest video shared by the railway ministry on Tuesday shows a passenger falling between the platform and a moving train at Mumbai Central Railway Station. Bharti Tiwari, a reservation supervisor, and other RPF personnel are seen promptly rescuing the passenger and pulling him onto the platform.

Always ready to help people,” commented a user. “The gaps between platforms and trains’ pedestals should be minimised. Just like metros….” wrote another user.
