On Tuesday afternoon, a 25-year-old man named Malka Sidre was rescued from the roof of a moving AC local train at Kalyan station in Thane district, Maharashtra, India. Railway authorities halted the train after spotting Sidre, who had climbed onto the coupling between two bogies after boarding the train at Ambernath. The rescue operation took around 20 minutes, causing a 17-minute delay in services. Railway officials noted that Sidre appeared mentally unstable and was not wearing proper clothing or footwear, indicating he might be homeless. He was first seen at Ulhasnagar, and an initial rescue attempt at Vitthalwadi was unsuccessful. The final operation was conducted on platform 7 at Kalyan, where safety protocols were followed to prevent electrocution from the 25,000-volt overhead wires.
