A video that has gone viral on social media captures the shocking moment when an elderly man was found peacefully sleeping under an open umbrella on a railway track in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, just as a train approached.
प्रयागराज, यूपी में रेल पटरी पर एक व्यक्ति छतरी लगाकर सो रहा था। ये देखकर लोको पायलट ने ट्रेन रोक दी। फिर उसको जगाया, पटरी से हटाया। तब ट्रेन आगे बढ़ी।
