A woman who fell from a railway track into floodwaters on a paddy field died in Chalakudy, Thrissur, on Saturday. The deceased was identified as Devikrishna (28), wife of Sreejith, of Vijayaraghavapuram.
The incident happened as Devikrishna and two other women were walking along the railway track on the way to their workplace. They chose to tread along the track as the road was flooded following heavy rain. Another person, Fousiya, wife of Mujeeb of Vijayaraghavapuram, has been admitted to a hospital.
Both of them fell into the floodwaters as they tried to move to a safer place when the train whizzed past. The third woman managed to stay safe without falling into the water.
