A train in North Bengal came to a sudden halt to save an elephant walking on the tracks, turning a tense moment into one of compassion. The incident was captured in a video shared by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan. It shows the elephant increasing its pace and shrieking after spotting the train, which then stopped in time. The animal calmly returned to the forest. The loco pilot, Shri S. Toppo, and assistant loco pilot, Shri S. Haldar, were praised for their alertness. Social media users hailed their quick action, calling it a life-saving gesture for the gentle giant.
