A video of a Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) saving the life of a 70-year-old passenger on a train has gone viral on social media. The incident occurred in the general coach of train number 15708, Amrapali Express where the elderly passenger suddenly required medical attention. The TTE swiftly sprang into action, administering lifesaving Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

A viral clip shared by the Ministry of Railways captured the intense moment, showing the TTE performing CPR on the conscious passenger. Thanks to the TTE’s prompt intervention, the passenger was stabilised and later rushed to a hospital from Bihar’s Chhapra railway station.

“TTE’s promptness gave ‘life’. While travelling in the general coach of train number 15708 ‘Amrapali Express’, a 70-year-old passenger suffered a heart attack. The TTE deployed there immediately gave CPR and saved the life of the passenger. The passenger was then sent to the hospital at Chhapra railway station,” the post shared by the Ministry of Railways read.

The video has sparked intense debate on social media, with some users praising the TTE’s quick thinking and others questioning the administration of CPR on a conscious individual. Medical experts typically recommend CPR only for people who are unresponsive or have stopped breathing. Many doctors expressed concern over the viral video, labeling it “misleading” and potentially detrimental to public health. They urged the Railways to remove the clip from social media, fearing it could incorrectly influence people’s understanding of proper CPR techniques.

A doctor said, “Don’t give CPR to awake patients and mouth to mouth breathing not required here plus the faulty compressions. If you really want to create awareness delete this video, force govt to start giving mandatory CPR lessons right from schools and colleges.”

“Performing CPR on a conscious patient is very dangerous and wrong. This is no joke. CPR is a life-saving procedure. Please delete this video so that people don’t lose lives over misinformation,” another doctor wrote. 

I have filed a RTI request for information about this so-colled CPR. Hope the Ministry of Railway will respond properly. pic.twitter.com/vHe4pulJaC

Activist Dr Vishnu Rajgadia has also filed a Right to Information (RTI) application seeking details about the incident and requesting information about the TTE’s medical training and the Railways’ investigation into the incident.

India has witnessed a disturbing surge in cases of reckless driving and performing risky stunts on roads, primarily for social media reel videos. This alarming trend poses a significant threat to road safety, putting drivers, pedestrians, and bystanders at risk. Recently, a shocking video surfaced on social media, showing two youths, including a minor, performing a daring scooter stunt on a busy road in Bengaluru’s Banashankari 2nd Stage area.

The footage, shared by @karnatakaportf, captures the duo executing a sit-down wheelie amidst heavy traffic. As the recorder tries to caution the boys, they glance back, unfazed, and continue their reckless ride.

“A small child was observed performing a wheelie on the road, posing a significant risk not only to themselves but also to the safety of others in the vicinity. The incident took place in Banashankari 2nd Stage, near Monotype, at approximately 8:22 PM. The vehicle involved was registered with the number KA01 V 5613. Such reckless behavior on public roads is highly dangerous and can lead to accidents. It is crucial for parents and guardians to ensure that children are not allowed to engage in such unsafe activities, especially on public streets,” the video was captioned on X. 

The disturbing clip has sparked concerns about road safety and the brazen disregard for traffic rules. Reacting to the video, Bengaluru Traffic Police tagged the Banashankari Traffic Police to look into the matter. Several internet users urged the police to take strict action. 

One user said, ”@blrcitytraffic pls seize the vehicle and penalise his parents so much that tis kid gets hit by his father every day.” Another commented, “Kindly take action against these ppl as they are posing a threat to pedestrians and fellow riders! If possible seize the vehicle and cancel their Driving Licence as well.”

A shocking video has emerged online showing two police constables in Bihar’s Nalanda fighting with each other in broad daylight. In a video that is being widely shared online, the two cops are seen arguing and then engaging in a violent fight in the middle of the road in Nalanda. 

The video starts with one officer accusing the other of accepting a bribe in front of the public. As the first cop tried to move away, the other cop hit him with the police stick. The two then indulge in a fistfight, even grabbing each other’s necks at some point. Meanwhile, some people can be heard warning the officers that they might get suspended. However, the cops did not listen to them and continued fighting. Locals then intervened and tried to pacify them.

Many others recorded the incident on their mobile phones and shared it on social media.

Several Moroccans posted other videos showing buildings reduced to rubble and dust and parts of the famous red walls that surround the old city in historic Marrakech, a UNESCO World Heritage site, damaged.

Friday’s 6.8-magnitude quake struck 72 kilometres (45 miles) southwest of the tourist hub of Marrakesh, wiping out entire villages in the hills of the Atlas mountains. The quake killed at least 2,012 people and injured 2,059 others, of whom 1,404 are in critical condition, according to the latest figures from Morocco’s interior ministry.

Many people are still believed to be under the rubble and rescue efforts are underway. The quake was the deadliest in Morocco since a 1960 earthquake destroyed Agadir and killed more than 12,000 people. 

 Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday expressed grief at the loss of lives in the earthquake and said India is ready to offer all possible assistance to it in this difficult time.

PM Modi said on X, “Extremely pained by the loss of lives due to an earthquake in Morocco. In this tragic hour, my thoughts are with the people of Morocco. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. May the injured recover at the earliest. India is ready to offer all possible assistance to Morocco in this difficult time.”
