A 35-year-old woman, identified as Roop, was rescued by an RPF constable after she slipped while boarding a moving train at Subedarganj railway station in Prayagraj on Friday, 13 November. The incident occurred around 5:50 pm when Train No. 14163 Up Sangam Express was departing from platform 1. Constable Prabhakar Dubey, on duty at the platform, rushed to pull the woman to safety as she was about to fall into the gap between the train and the platform. The woman, a resident of Churg Mod in Sonbhadra district, was travelling to Meerut in the general coach. Passengers present at the station praised the constable's bravery.
