This is the moment station guards saved two passengers stuck between the platform edge and a moving train.

Dramatic footage shows Railway Protection Force personnel at the Durgapur post in the Asansol Division of West Bengal rescuing two commuters who fell into the gap on January 15.

The train eventually stopped before the footage ends.

In a separate incident, a pensioner lost balance and fell from a slowly moving coach while disembarking at Kanpur Central Station in Uttar Pradesh on Monday, January 13.

Quick-thinking Constable S.R. Godara of the RPF acted swiftly to prevent a tragedy by grabbing her hand and pulling her to safety.

On November 3, another passenger stumbled onto the train tracks while attempting to board a moving carriage at Kanpur Railway Station.

She grabbed the door handle but was dragged along as the train picked up speed, eventually losing her footing and falling onto the tracks.

Onlookers acted quickly, shouting and urging others to pull the train's emergency chain.

When the train finally stopped, the crowd lifted her off the tracks together.

Reports indicated that the woman sustained only minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Following the incident, authorities urged commuters to exercise caution when boarding or disembarking from moving trains to prevent similar accidents.
