A station attendant at Bangur Nagar Station on Mumbai Metro Yellow Line-2 intervened by alerting the train pilot to stop the train and re-open the doors after a two-year-old child strayed outside. The incident took place on Sunday at 4.24 pm.
"At Bangur Nagar Metro Station in Goregaon, little did anyone expect a two-year-old to step out of the train alone just as the doors were closing. But thanks to the sharp eyes of our Station Attendant Sanket Chodankar, a potential mishap was averted. Sanket quickly alerted the train operator to reopen the doors and rushed to ensure the child's safety, all within seconds," a spokesperson said.
The station has platform screen doors in addition to the train doors, and owing to the timely intervention by the staff, both the doors were opened again to safely reunite the kid with his family.
"Such presence of mind and dedication towards passenger safety make our Maha Mumbai Metro journeys secure every day. Our Maha Mumbai Metro staff is well trained to handle all passenger needs to ensure you have a safe and comfortable journey every day with us," the spokesperson added.
