Voice 9, Kolkata Bureau: A 12-year-old kid from Malda, West Bengal, used his red shirt as a flag to alert the locomotive driver of the train's impending arrival at a damaged track. After witnessing a broken track, the child waved his red shirt toward an approaching train carrying many people, Northeast Frontier Railway authorities told news agency PTI on Monday.
The train's loco-pilot
responded quickly to the signal, using the emergency brake right away to stop
the train and prevent a huge disaster. Last Thursday, not far from the Bhaluka
road yard, the event took place.
The officials at the Northeast Frontier Railway were impressed with the
boy, identified as Mursalin Seikh. The railway authorities applauded the
"bravery" in a statement to the media.
