A 71-year-old woman was saved by fellow passengers after she fell off a moving train in Vasai railway station in neighbouring Palghar district, officials said on Monday.

The woman, a resident of Hyderabad in Telangana, was trying to board the Bhavnagar-Kakinada special train at around 5pm on Saturday when she lost her footing, tumbled down and got caught in the platform gap, they said.
