Sonali showed immense strength and agility and swiftly grabbed and pulled the passenger preventing her from falling onto the tracks, railway officials said.

Hailing from Nanded district of Maharastra, Sonali was appointed in Railway Protection Force in the year 2020 and is currently posted at Warangal Railway Station. Her selfless action on Saturday not only earned recognition within the department but also the gratitude of the woman passenger whose life she saved.
