Viral video: RPF constable saves minor girl from major accident at Kerala railway station

-

Railway Protection Force has been tasked with the responsibility of ensuring the security of railway property, station area, and also of passengers. They efficiently work around the clock to provide a safe, secure, and comfortable travel experience to commuters across India. Thus, tasked with one of the most challenging tasks throughout the day, RPF officers also need to be vigilant of any kind of accidents that can happen on the platform or on the tracks. With their alert and quick action, officers have managed to save the lives of several people in the past. One such incident has recently come to light where an RPF head constable in a swift action saved a minor girl from going under the wheels of a moving train.

The incident took place in Kerala’s Tirur railway station where a minor girl was trying to board a moving train. Things went wrong when the train picked up speed due to which the girl slipped and fell on the platform.

However, the RPF officer who was present at the spot came to her rescue and moved the girl away from the train, thus averting a major accident. The video has been shared by RPF India’s official Twitter handle. The officer has been identified as head constable Satheesh.

Watch the video:


The video was shared on Friday and has gone viral in no time. Many took to the comment section and lauded the alert officer. One commented, “I am proud of the honest jawans on duty”, while another commented, “Excellent job.” Words of praise were showered in the comment section, a user also raised the demand to focus on automatic door closure in suburban trains.

In the meantime, the video has also been viewed over 2,000 times and has received hundreds of likes.

This is not the first time such an instance has taken place. At a time when Indian Railways continue to caution passengers to avoid running on platforms behind moving trains and ensuring their own safety, people can be spotted continuing such acts. While some luckily get saved, some also become victims of unfortunate accidents.

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
