As children, we imagined that heroes fought crime, flew across cities, and wore capes to make world a better place. However, as we grow older, we come to realise and witness that the true heroes walk among us!
Omvati Devi Saved Lives With Her Red Sari
Omvati Devi saw something strange while on her daily stroll close to the train tracks. She recognised the danger as soon as she saw a section of the railway track damaged. Many passengers' lives could be in danger in a catastrophic accident, if a train were to cross the damaged tracks. This brave Indian woman named Omvati Devi saved hundreds of lives by using her red sari to stop a train after spotting defective tracks farther down the line. She waved her red flowing saree in front of a fast-approaching train.
When he saw her waving the saree, the driver halted the train in time, preventing a potential disaster. Later, Omvati Devi revealed that she had heard that the colour red is used to indicate danger. Knowing this, she alerted the train driver by tying her saree around the damaged track. Many lives were saved that day by her prompt intervention. Between 150 and 200 passengers on the train in Uttar Pradesh, India, benefited from Omvati's quick thinking.
Three Sixth-Grader Girls To The Resue
Many people applauded a video of three sixth-graders in Mahe, Kerala, assisting a woman who had fallen unconscious on the road. On a fine evening in December, a woman suddenly fainted and fell to the ground while trying to board a rickshaw, as her sodium levels had dropped. The woman was able to regain consciousness thanks to the prompt involvement of VP Oriental School pupils Ayesha Alona, Kadeeja Kubra, and Nafeesathul Misiriya. Her life was saved by these three girls’ prompt action.
The girls mentioned that the auto driver just stood idle when the incident took place. So, they quickly rubbed and warmed the woman’s hands, offered her water, and also pressed her chest to help her regain consciousness.
An appreciation event was held at the school to show how much the teachers and locals appreciate the students. The girls in turn attributed their first aid skills to a lesson they learnt from their teacher at school.
