Watch: 50-year-old woman trying to board moving train slips, lady RPF constable saves her in time

-

In a shocking case, a 50-year-old woman, who was trying to board a moving train in Mumbai slipped and fell between the train and the platform gap. Within a fraction of seconds, a Railway Protection Force (RPF) female constable who was standing near the platform benches, rushed to the woman’s rescue and pulled her out to safety.

This incident happened at the Sandhurst Road railway station in Mumbai, where the busy local trains carry lakhs of passengers daily. Sadly, such incidents take place not just in Mumbai but across the country when people are in a hurry to catch the train.

Taking to their social media handle, RPF shared the video where the elderly woman can be seen trying to board the train soon after it started moving. As soon as she tried to board the train, the woman slipped and fell close to slipping through the gap. Quick-thinking constable Sapna Golkar then rushed to the woman’s rescue and pulled her out on the platform in the nick of time.

Tweeting the video, the RPF lauded constable Golkar for her courageous act and quick thinking. Since being shared on social media, people are praising Golkar for her lightning-fast reflexes and amazing work in helping the woman.

This horrifying moment was captured on a CCTV camera that was installed at the station.

If the constable would not have acted on time, the woman would have slipped through the gap.

This is not the first time where such an instance has happened, two days ago, an eight-month pregnant woman was rescued by an RPF constable after she fell between the train and platform. The incident had taken place in Maharashtra’s Thane district at Kalyan station.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu

Aditya L1 Mission: Spacecraft is nearing its final phase, says ISRO chief

-
Aditya L1 spacecraft is nearing its final phase, and manoeuvres to enter the L1 point are expected to be completed by January 7, 2024, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. “Aditya is on the way. I think it has reached almost its final phase,” the ISRO chief told PTI on the sidelines of an event organised at VSSC to commemorate the 60th year of the First Sounding Rocket Launch. Aditya L1, India’s first space-based mission to study the Sun, was successfully launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun. He said that the last preparations for the spacecraft’s entry into the L1 point are currently underway incrementally.”Possibly by January 7th, the final manoeuvres will be done for entering into the L1 point,” Somanath added. Among other tasks, it will capture and tr
