A very sad incident. May his soul rest in peace.
Overcrowded locals is one of the biggest problems of Mumbai.
As supposed to WR,where there is single section and hence you could find a Virar-Churchgate local every 10-20 mins. However in CR,you have to not only take care of Harbour but also KSRA-KYN/KP-KYN/KJT-KYN/TNA-VASHI sectors due to which services beyond KYN becomes limited. Moreover,since Mumbai Suburban hasn't received much attention since past years,both WR & CR were unable to start new services to cater the increasing population.
This...
more... year(upto Nov) total 740 people have lost their lives in local trains(Which actually is less than previous year's figures).On an average,10 people are died in Mumbai local trains every day.
The only solution to this is creation of extra lines on both WR & CR corridors(which is pending since years) so that more services could be increased and so that no one has to die like this.
