The woman sustained serious injuries in her legs, he added.
"Lakshmi tripped as the train started moving while she was getting off the Mannai Express from Mannargudi," the official told PTI, adding that the woman has been hospitalised.

The woman, along with her husband and other family members, had returned to the city by Mannai Express after a sojourn at their native place in Thanjavur district.
