It is so sad to hear such news again and again. Some accidents are caused due to traffic blocks to reach railway stations, some due to lack of adequate ticket booking counter facilities, some due to lack of proper announcement¬ifications, some due to last second rush, some due to carelessness and in some cases, all these factors are joined together. Atleast thanks for the co-passengers and those who were left in the platform for rescuing her, immediately. It can happen to anyone. Nobody can be sure that he/she will not go near to the doors/wash basins during the running of trains, and there is a very big chance of falling down from the train.

Actually, 90% of the passengers alighted at Trivandrum and the family was getting down from one reserved coach to the nearest general coach. The train had just 5 minutes halt at Trivandrum, but they expected atleat 10 minutes halting at Trivandrum early morning, around 4am, as all of them were in sleeping mood. When they tried to get into the train, husband jumped with new born baby into the train and wife and 2 other children were fearing to enter the train, as the train accelerated immediately and started running very fast. When the wife and children tried to enter the train, their face got hit by the coaches and were injured. Luckily, the train slowed after few seconds and they all were able to get in to the train. Like these incidents happen everywhere. Sometimes, due to heavy rush, passengers need to travel on footboards, especially office hour time.
