Mexican mayor left behind as train departs
In Mexico, a mayor was left behind when a train started moving without him.
This happened because he arrived late to the opening of a new train line.
People saw him running to catch the train, but it was too late.
This event made people laugh and reminded some of how important it is to be on time, especially in countries like India, where being late is sometimes a problem.
The mayor and his helpers tried to catch the train, but they couldn't make it in time.
It was a funny moment that everyone will remember.
Mayor Gerardo Quirino Velázquez Chávez arrived late to the inauguration of Light Rail Line 4 in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Mexico.
The ceremonial first train departed without the mayor, leaving him stranded on the platform.
The incident occurred on December 15 during the formal inauguration of the new light rail line.
The mayor was seen running with his aides in an attempt to catch the departing train.
The event highlighted the importance of punctuality, especially in contrast to countries known for their timeliness.
