The city is limping back to normalcy post lockdown. Recently, the general public was allowed to board local trains, but only during the restricted time frame.  It has now come across that with more people being allowed to board trains, the incidents that were once considered a thing of the past are also back. Yes, we are referring to people performing daredevil stunts while travelling on Mumbai local trains. 

A video that has been doing rounds on social media shows that a man bending out of a running train trying to touch another local. The man was trying to touch the front glass in a motorman's cabin of a local coming from the opposite direction. He slides back just in time as the local passes by. He then bends out again, moving very close to the railway poles. All this while, someone in the coach behind him films his dangerous act.

This has led Central Railway to flag off a massive drive. Meanwhile, Railway Protection Force (RPF) officials said that the video appears to have been filmed between Dadar and Kurla and they are looking for the man.

During pre-COVID era, it has been observed that stunts on moving trains or on tracks have resulted in the loss of life or limb on countless occasions. According to officials, there is also room for commuters to come forward and report such instances on social media to help combat the menace.
