The Ministry of Railways on Monday shared a video of one of its employees performing a brave feat to ensure the smooth running of a train. The clip has been shared by the ministry's official Twitter handle. It shows an Assistant Loco Pilot, identified as Ganesh Ghosh, fixing an air leak on a train.
The video shows Mr Ghosh crawl in the tight space beneath the train, which is halted on a bridge.
The Twitter post said, “Yatriyon ki seva aur suraksha mei samarpit. Railsevaks are committed to serve its passengers 24x7. An exemplary display of courage by Ganesh Ghosh, ALP who crawled under the coaches of halted train on a bridge and rectified air leakage issue that helped resume the journey.”

The video of the loco pilot performing the demanding task comes just days after a railway police official displayed exemplary presence of mind and bravery in saving an elderly woman from being crushed by a moving train.
In a video shared by the Ministry of Railways, the officer as well as another man are seen asking those on the opposite platform to not risk their lives by walking across rail tracks.
However, the warning falls on deaf ears. Moments later, the officer is seen rushing to the edge of the platform to pull an elderly woman safely onto the platform, seconds before the train whizzes past.
The incident at Uttar Pradesh's Lalitpur station was captured on a CCTV camera.
The police officer's timely response earned him a lot of compliments on social media platforms.
