Just as the unfortunate accident that claimed the life of Dombivli student Soham Kathare is still fresh, today too, passengers had to endure immense mental stress as trains did not arrive on time during peak hours at Dombivli railway station. With no change in the situation even after two days, citizens are expressing intense dissatisfaction.
During the morning rush hour, the number of local trains is reduced, and many local trains run late. As a result, there was a large crowd on the platform. Passengers had to travel with their lives in their hands. A dangerous situation arose as more passengers boarded the compartments than the capacity.
A video of this has been shared on social media and is going viral on a large scale. Questions are being raised about the management of the railway on the Central Railway route. Passengers are angrily asking how many more lives will be lost before the administration wakes up.
Due to frequent delays, technical glitches, and lack of planning, passengers continue to face difficulties at crowded stations like Kalyan Dombivli. Local residents and passenger organizations have demanded that the railway administration take immediate concrete measures, run additional trains, and strictly adhere to the schedule during peak hours.
