There’s a girl by the tracks”the voices cried out. The voices were of train passengers. Roma’s fall from the train could not be heard as the train made a loud noise. Baleshwar Mishra was a high school dropout who pulled the red chain to help the wounded girl. The other passengers did not volunteer to help Baleshwar because they were afraid of being involved. He found Roma at last by the side of the train tracks. Baleshwar saw blood flowing out of a wound on Roma’s head and he lifted her and made his way across the tracks.
The person who helped Baleswar to take Roma to a nearby hospital was a Guajarati truck driver who did not expect any vote of thanks from them.the wounded girl was treated well and recovered. Her brother Dinesh was informed by Baleshwar about Roma and her condition in hospital. Roma said that She could not imagine what would have happened to her if Baleshwar had not been there. She felt that she could never repay him for what he had done
