Is this just an another accident to be forgotten ? and forgiven ?
Govt. callous attitude ? Executives responsible ? Leaders failing to discipline the Crowding ? People themselves ?
This is a criminal carelessness ... and 'innocent' ones are suffering....
deceased left a family who hoped will return to take their care...

will issue 'Lip service" and again 'same chalta hai ..."
even the wife of injured person could not know immediately but cam to know only when Borivali came...
and see the cruelty of the fate ... 'Ten minutes delay caused crowding at all stations ..."

really sad to know. Politicians are least bothered. Virar-Bandra elevated corridor is still 10 years away. Out of the box thinking is the need of the hour to stop deaths on tracks.
I think to increase the services during peak hours, TT of long distance trains need to be changed such that they do not enter the suburban area between Virar-BCT between 7 am to 10.30 am in the morning so that all 4 tracks may be used for suburban trains.

"Every Action to cure patient brings another reaction, and then similar action is thought of ."
The reason behind 'overcrowding' is users, but how does users increase ?
Job seekers, employees, businessman, vendors and students, any one you can imagine as user' : The spate in users is due to Rush towards "Cities' for job ; every user brings at least his one family member, which expands into three four or more...
all
...
more...
this is straining : all railways, : coach durability, maintenance, speed, comforts... : and once the vicious cycle sets in, : more users mean more coaches needed, more maintenance needed, more frequency needed... but when Space, is limited, Time is limited, Money is not available... the state of things is going to deteriorate...
If my house needs repairs, but I have to send my children to school also to marry off my sister, take care of my parents, : where priorities will Go ? House will get least priorities, which should be First ... since safety of house only will enable rest of the needs to be carried out safely...
But in India , 'decisions' are taken on the spur of the moment , in the heat of the moment, and when the calamity strikes...
any 'planned decisions' are either objected and delayed or politicized ...
take the Bandra Kurla Complex for bullet train' still hanging ...
Our states play ethnicity game, and districts play regional games...
Not allowing the executives to think and plan best... so at last GoK ...
God Only Knows... fate of such people and country

Mumbai locals especially the Virar locals are death traps. Multiple deaths is a regular feature on Mumbai locals and continue to be so unless the elevated and underground railway construction projects are taken up on war footing and commissioned at the earliest without any political interference. Another technocrat like Sreedharan is urgently needed.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
