Bahraich (UP): On a special ‘Shramik train,’ which was going from Belgaum in Karnataka to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh, was a four-month-old baby who was hungry for almost two days, as her mother Shafiya Hashmi could not manage to find milk at any railway station.
As the train entered the Bhopal station, she requested a Railway Protection Force (RPF) to help her get some milk, who at the moment was busy making announcements on a public address system, asking passengers not to venture out of the train.
Upon listening to Shafiya’s request, the constable, Constable Inder Singh Yadav, rushed to a nearby kiosk outside the station, to get her a packet of milk when the train started moving, picking up at a slow pace.
In the CCTV footage, Inder can be seen running on the platform with the milk packet in one hand, and his rifle, in the other. His efforts were fruitful when he delivered the milk packet to Shafiya through the train window.
Inder’s act of kindness drew a lot of attention when the video went viral, and he was consequently recognised by the Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, who also awarded him with a cash reward.
