A woman passenger was rescued from beneath a moving Prayagraj Express train at Prayagraj Junction after she fell while attempting to exit the train prematurely. The incident occurred while the train was still in motion on the platform.
Three RPSF personnel responded swiftly to the emergency, immediately activating the emergency chain to bring the train to a halt. The rapid intervention prevented potential tragedy as the woman had become trapped beneath the moving carriage.
The rescue operation was completed within approximately five minutes of the emergency alert. The RPSF team successfully extracted the passenger to safety without serious injury. The incident underscores the critical importance of waiting for trains to come to a complete stop before disembarking at stations.
Railway authorities have not issued additional statements regarding the passenger's condition or whether a formal inquiry into the incident will be conducted. The Prayagraj Express subsequently continued its journey following the successful rescue operation.
