The incident has gone viral over digital media, with people praising the officer’s prompt response and bravery. The passenger was fortunate to have received timely intervention from the officer, who was alert and focused on ensuring the safety of the passengers.
Railway accidents are not uncommon in the region, but this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of alertness and quick action. Following this incident, the authorities have become more active and alert in ensuring public safety.
An automatic door system should be installed in trains / buses to open and close automatically till the vehicle comes to halt. This will prevent the public from falling until the train / bus comes to halt.
Pakistani nation is very inpatient (besbra). Even when an aircraft is still taxing on the runway / apron , the Pakistani passengers immediately leave their seats, collect their cabin luggage and at once rush to the exit door which is a big shame.
