A railway ministry official here said that on May 31 at 8.45 p.m. a Shramik Special train arrived on platform number one of Bhopal station. He said, "While making rounds on the station platform, on-duty RPF Constable Inder Singh Yadav noticed one lady passenger calling him and requesting to arrange milk for her four-month-old child. And also informed him that she has been trying for milk from Belgaum, but could not get it because of which child is continuously crying for milk."
"On the request of the lady, the RPF staff immediately rushed outside the platform and bought one milk packet. And while entering the station platform, he noticed that the train was leaving and picked up speed," he said. "Yadav then ran and managed to hand over the milk packet to the lady passenger," he said, adding that the lady passenger profusely thanked the RPF staff for the timely help.
A video shared by Anurag Dwary shows the relentless effort made by the RPF constable to give milk for the infant.
