Tweet To Suresh Prabhu Saved Renuka Shahane’s Relative In Need Of Medical Aid On Train

Our cabinet ministers have become quite tech savvy of late, connecting with the public on social media and even responding to emergency situations. Most recently, Suresh Prabhu, the central Railway Minister was able to save a woman’s life after taking prompt action based on a series of tweets.

Suresh Prabhu received a series of tweets from Renuka Shahane regarding the health condition of her sister-in-law who was alone on board the Suvidha Express.

It’s incredible how far we’ve come when a lone woman on a train is able to receive medical attention within minutes based on a tweet sent directly to the railway ministry from miles away!

Take a bow Mr Prabhu!
