Slowly, all the passangers were settling down as the departure time of the train was ticking away. Barely ten minutes were left and departure of the train was being announced repeatedly.The dying hour passangers were hurrying with their small luggage. The security staff i.e. R.P.F.(Railway Protection Force),travel in all mail,express and superfast trains in India),T.T.E.'s and canteen staff had entered the train to start the checking of luggage, travelling tickets and providing passangers with some snacks respectively.Everyone in the train had started feeling relaxed in air-conditioned atmosphere. The announcer had started wishing a safe and happy journey. It was 5.18 pm.
Suddenly, a girl in her thirties, sitting on the platform with a passenger, on a wooden desk cried so loudly that everyone on the platform as well as on the train was compelled to know what had happened to the girl there. The R.P.F. men on duty got down to investigate the reason of this fearful cry of the girl. The G.R.P. ( Government Railway Police ), posted at almost all the railway stations in India, to handle such situations within the limits of railway station, was informed. An S.H.O. (Station House Officer) reached the scene almost immediately as their office was nearby. Surender Kumar, as the name-plate on his khaki uniform, informed the onlookers his name. Soon a constable also arrived to help his officer. As the G.R.P. had taken over the command at the platform, the R.P.F. men boarded the waiting train again and train got its green signals and started moving slowly out of New Delhi railway station, late by 10 minutes due to this incidence. Curiosity of the passangers of Shatabdi Express remained with them of what had happened to the girl at the platform no.1 ?
