The Railway Police on Tuesday felicitated a 70-year-old woman whose presence of mind helped avert a train mishap near here recently.
The incident occurred on March 21 at around 2.10 pm when the woman, Chandravathi, who was outside her house noticed a tree fall over the track between Padil and Jokatte. Chandravathi, who knew that the Matsyagandha Express from Mangaluru to Mumbai would pass that way, rushed inside her house, brought out a red cloth and waved it to the loco pilot of the oncoming train.
The loco pilot, who noticed it, sensed danger and slowed down the train which stopped just near the place where the tree had fallen on the track. Later, the Railway personnel and local people reached the place and ensured that the tree was cleared from the track.
Chandravathi was felicitated by Railway police at a function attended by senior officials.
