Timely action by an alert motorman of the Central Railway (CR) saved the life of a person lying on track between Tilak Nagar and Chembur stations on Saturday.
"The motorman PK Ratnakar was manning a Panvel local train which left CSMT at 2.12 pm on Saturday. He noticed a person lying on the track between Tilak Nagar and Chembur stations. He immediately applied emergency brakes and stopped the train just 10-12 metres before. Passengers helped the motorman take the person away from the track," said Shivaji Sutar, chief spokesperson, CR.
