Siddesh, a 9 year old, class 4 student from the outskirts of Davanagere city, averted a railway accident on Sunday morning.
He not only alerted his father Manjunath about a crack in the track but also flagged down an approaching train with his red T-shirt. Sources said that as this track is used by 8 trains, Siddesh's intervention helped save the lives of the thousands of passengers.
Passengers on the train appreciated the boy's courage and appealed to the district administration and elected representatives to recommend him for a bravery award!
