Following the tragic incident near the Mumbra railway station, Maharashtra government is working on a master plan with adequate measures to avoid mishaps on local suburban trains and ensure passenger safety.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis discussed the limitations of the local train's capacity during peak hours. He admitted that the delay in the completion of Metro railways has proved detrimental in decongesting crowded local trains.
He further stated that the government is planning to operate air-conditioned local trains without hiking the passenger fares.
Talking about the more AC local trains and new non-AC trains, CM Fadnavis mentioned: "Our Railway Minister has emphasised that as these trains do not have a door, the possibility of an accident is high. So, he will work to put doors in such trains. Ventilation will also be taken care of. Efforts are underway to bring AC trains to suburban Mumbai."
