A video is circulating on social media showing a woman standing on a railway track with her eyes swollen from tears.
It appears that the woman got off the train to buy something, perhaps an essential item such as milk, and the train left. Social media accounts that shared the video posted that the mother had gone to buy milk when the train left.
Regardless of the origin, what has touched the hearts of many is that shortly after she learns that the train has sped up and she cannot reach the carriage, the woman is seen talking to someone, possibly a railway guard. He then causes the train to stop after learning of the woman’s plight. The woman then runs to her coach and boards the train.
Netizens expressed their happiness over the kind gesture as the video went viral on social media. “This is the India I want to live in. Compassionate. Attentive. Caring. The guard who stopped the train should be honored with the highest award,” writes one user X.
“Mother is the greatest warrior. No one can even compare to her perseverance, patience and love,” writes another. “Last year I took the train to give my daughter a train experience. She got hungry during the journey…TC noticed our situation, called the next station and arranged milk and snacks. To my surprise, he even refused to accept payment,” he writes a third user.
