<h5>What did the young boy do?</h5><p>A 12-year-old boy named Mursalin Sheikh helped prevent a train accident by waving his red t-shirt to alert the train driver heading towards a damaged railway line. The track had been damaged after the rain had washed away the soil and pebbles, creating a hole. The incident occurred in the Malda district, West Bengal.</p><p>The kid had noticed a section of rain-damaged railway tracks and a train approaching it. He showed quick presence of mind, removed his red t-shirt, stood on the track, and began waving it at the train (such a brave kid). The train driver saw him waving the red T-shirt and quickly applied the brakes.</p><p>The kid was rewarded for his bravery. He was awarded a certificate and cash. The railway authorities and the area’s Member of Parliament (MP) also praised his bravery. The state government will also reward him.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/the-boy-who-saved-hundreds-of-lives%2FWB-Kid.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=c021d010-235b-4144-8f8e-269fd29d44dd&amp;_gl=1*q5gza8*_ga*MTIzNjQ0ODg2NS4xNjgzNzk5MjMy*_ga_CW55HF8NVT*MTY5NTkyOTQ5NC4yMTkuMS4xNjk1OTMwMTYzLjUwLjAuMA.."><figcaption>The little boy receiving an award for his bravery.

He simply did it to help others and avoid any potential accident.</p><p>The kid also showed an incredible presence of mind. His actions highlight the need to remain calm and alert to what’s happening around us. They also remind us of the power we all possess, as individuals, to help others and give back to society.
