But he suddenly de-boarded at Kokrajhar station. Later, with the help of Railway Protection Force (RPF) the old man boarded in Lumding Intercity Express but again he got de-boarded at Pathsala Railway station. o­n getting information, MRCC directed RPF officials to search for the old man at Pathsala station. Under the close monitoring of MRCC and with the help of RPF the mentally retarded old man was traced and rescued and later handed over to family member.

The family member of the old man was very much overwhelmed by the quick response given by MRCC and RPF. Family members thanked MRCC, RPF and Indian Railways for their effort in reuniting and rescuing the old mentally retarded person.
