Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) of Central Railway in Mumbai replied to the complaint stating that the CR authorities have been instructed for cleaning it to which the commuter along with many other people in the same thread stated that it is not about cleaning. He asserted that authorities should take strict action against people. He also mentioned that since the majority of the trains are equipped with CCTV cameras, it should not be hard to identify people behind this action.
According to the commuters, this a common problem in the Harbour Line as many people who travel are under the influence of alcohol and they do these things to create nuisance. Another commuter suggested that Central Railway should check all the compartments before the train leaves for its first journey in the day.
