LUDHIANA: In a miracle of sorts, a toddler fell from the emergency window of a moving train and was later found alive near Samrala railway station on Thursday.
Railway officials said that Vishali Sharma along with her three children was going to Mumbai from Phagwara in Paschim express. They added that during the journey, Vishali went to washroom leaving her one and half years old daughter Mahira with her other two small children.
The officials further said that after she returned from washroom, her five-year-old daughter told her that Mahira had fallen out of the window. They added that as soon as Vishali came to know about it, she raised an alarm and with the help of other passengers, the train was stopped after several kilometers ahead.
Railway officials added that as soon as the incident was reported, all the passengers including the security staff of the train started looking for the girl and two hours later, the girl was found lying in the fields near the railway track about 6 km ahead of Samrala railway station towards Phagwara side.
They added that the girl was immediately rushed to a private hospital in Samrala, where she is undergoing treatment for minor injuries. --
