Under the ongoing “Operation Yatri Suraksha,” personnel of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus averted a major mishap and saved the life of a passenger on board Train No. 12546 Raxaul Express. The incident took place while the train was there on Platform No. 1 at LTT station in Mumbai. Acting swiftly during their deployment duty, Sub-Inspector R.P. Wanjari and Head Constable Sachin Sabne displayed alertness and courage, preventing what could have turned into a fatal accident.
