mumbai train accident What began as a flash strike by Central Railway employees quickly escalated into a fatal accident near Sandhurst Road station in Mumbai. With local train services suspended, commuters faced long delays. Some attempted to walk along the tracks to reach other lines, and at around 7 pm a local train struck them, resulting in two fatalities and three persons injured.
Rail officials say the victims had alighted from the wrong side and entered the track zone, which is strictly prohibited. Unfortunately, the combination of disrupted train lines, overcrowded platforms and track walking proved disastrous.
In the aftermath, authorities have promised a thorough investigation and review of safety protocols during network stoppages. Meanwhile, compensation and medical support for the victims and their families remain under discussion—but some victims claim no free treatment or compensation has been offered yet.
