Kolkata Alert Metro Rail staff members have managed to save a woman’s life on Thursday. Mangala Garia (40), who is a resident of Canal West Road, was about to board a Dum Dum-bound Metro at Shyambazar Metro Station when she slipped and fell and her right foot got trapped in the gap between the platform and the car. It was the first door of the first compartment of the train that she was trying to get into. She immediately began shouting for help. Seeing this, Subir Ghosh, the driving motor man and the Rabi Bhakat, the conducting motor man, swung into action. Before her feet touched the Third Rail Current Connector (TRCC), one of them switched the third rail power off and the other managed to pulled her out. Later, she was taken to RG Kar hospital for treatment and in the evening, her condition was reported to have been stable.
