Mother Disappears After Leaving Child on Train
When the train stopped at Kishanganj station in the morning, the woman left one of her children sleeping on a seat and went away with the other in her arms. This scene was highly unusual and heartbreaking for the passengers. Many stood observing, contemplating the child's safety.
Passengers immediately informed each other of the incident and tried to stay near the child. The helpless state of the innocent child concerned other passengers on the train, prompting them to take immediate action.
Care by Locals and Passengers
Meanwhile, local citizen Uttam Lal Upadhyay and his family also stepped forward to help. They made every effort to find the woman on the coach and the platform. Although they were unsuccessful in finding the mother, their effort was a testament to human compassion.
Passengers also took responsibility for the child's care. A female passenger, who witnessed the incident at first glance, continued to console the crying child and waited for the mother's return. In this way, the compassion of locals and passengers saved the child from being left vulnerable.
Flaw in Railway Security System

The train remained at the station for about 10 minutes. The guard continuously sought help via walkie-talkie, but there was no cooperation from the security agencies. This entire incident highlights a serious weakness in the railway security system.
Passenger Safety and Neglect of Children
After the train departed, the innocent child continued to sleep on the same seat. She was alone and helpless, while passengers around her tried to ensure her safety. This scene was emotionally difficult for everyone.
This incident raised questions about how serious the railways and security agencies are about the safety of children and passengers. The uncertain situation of the innocent child made it clear that improving security measures is extremely necessary to handle such cases in the future.
