Providence saves woman after local runs over her-loses legs
Providence saved a woman after a local runs over her at
Belapur Station this morning (Monday 8 July).But ruefully she lost her legs.
The woman, who was travelling to Thane, missed a step while trying to get into the crowded train and fell on the tracks. The train was already in motion and one compartment ran over her.
After co-passengers and security personnel on the platform raised an alarm, the train started reversing.
A video shot at the station which has gone viral on the internet shows the train reversing slowly as passengers lean to have a peek of the woman. Cops are seen asking the passengers to maintain a safe distance. Finally, the woman can be seen. Her feet are bloodied and she sits up with difficulty as policemen jump onto the tracks to help.
Heavy downpour last night has led to waterlogging in several areas in and near Mumbai. Flooding Kurla and Chunabhatti disrupted the movement of local trains considered the Maximum City’s lifeline. With many trains cancelled and others delayed, office-goers from the suburbs encountered a tough time getting onto the few overcrowded trains that were operating.
No train for Thane passed through the Belapur station for hours, and a huge crowd had gathered. But, when a train eventually arrived, scores of people tried to get in, and that’s when the woman lost her step and fell on the tracks.
Meanwhile, Heavy rain threw life in Mumbai off the tracks, with schools and college closing for the day. Flights heading to the maximum city were diverted.
Moreover, the India Meteorological Department has predicted that the city may witness a 4.40 m high tide in the sea in the afternoon. Teams of the National Disaster Response Force were deployed in several areas.
