Coimbatore: A two-year-old girl was rescued from the Chennai-Coimbatore Express train that arrived at Coimbatore Railway Station on September 21 at around 11:15 PM. The child was later handed over to an orphanage for safekeeping.

After all passengers had disembarked from the train, cleaning staff began their routine work of cleaning each compartment. During this process, they discovered a young girl, approximately two years old, sleeping on a seat in one of the compartments.

The cleaning staff immediately informed the railway police about the situation. Constables Gajendran and Ramya arrived at the scene and rescued the child, taking her to the police station.
