Suburban Passenger Association President Nand Kumar Deshmukh on Sunday, January 28, presented a memorandum to the Central Railway General Manager Ram Karan Yadav seeking introduction of additional suburban services on the Thane-Kasara and Thane-Karjat sections.
This development came after the Mumbai local train commuters expressed concerns about the increase of additional long-distance trains into the already congested network of the city. They also highlighted the concerns due to congestion at Thane station.
Yadav conducted an extensive safety inspection of the suburban section between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Kalyan stations and later assured the association members to resolve the issues raised.
The inspection covered various aspects including safety measures, mechanical and electrical stalls, operating and commercial stalls as well as interaction with station staff. The main stops of the inspection included Dadar, Ghatkopar, Thane, Diva and Kalyan stations.
