In a heartwarming incident in North Bengal, a train came to a halt after an elephant unexpectedly crossed the tracks. According to Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan, the animal initially appeared startled—shrinking back and trumpeting—before fleeing safely back into the forest. Kaswan praised the driver (LP Shri S. Toppo) and assistant loco pilot (ALP Shri S. Haldar) for applying timely brakes, avoiding a potential tragedy. The video, shared on social media, has amassed nearly 29,000 views and highlights the rare but crucial moments where human compassion prevails amid wildlife encounters on railways.
