Mumbai suburban railway infrastructure has been ‘collapsed’ due to migrants: Raj Thackeray
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray said that after the accident of four passengers died and nine others were killed, Raj Thackeray said that a large number of migrants from other states are responsible for migration to Mumbai for the demolition of the infrastructure of the railway. Thackeray also questioned the justification of the demand for automatic doors of automatic doors in the local train in view of the crowd of passengers. It is noteworthy that Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Chandra Pawar) President Sharad Pawar has appealed to the Central Railway Administration to implement the measures like installing automatic doors in view of the congestion in a suburban train. Thackeray told reporters in Pune, “The infrastructure of the railway has collapsed due to a large number of people (Mumbai) from outside but everyone is busy campaigning.”
Prima facie appears that in the busy time in the morning, the passengers standing on the rungs of two opposite direction between the Diva and the Kopar railway station caused four people to die of falling from the train due to collision with the bags of the passengers on the rungs of two opposite direction, and nine others were injured. Thackeray said, “There are accidents related to local train every day. This is not just a matter of railway. There is chaos in all our cities. Roads are not good and traffic jams are common in many cities including Mumbai and Pune. If the fire broke out, the fire brigade does not reach on time. ”She deferred questions related to the discussion of possible reconciliation between the MNS and Shiv Sena (Ubatha) led by her cousin Uddhav Thackeray.
The eyewitness of the incident of the death of four passengers and six passengers, including a constable of the Government Railway Police (GRP) and injuries to six, said that the process started when someone collided with the wall or “something fell from our cans. A police official said that the incident took place between Diva and Kopar railway station when the train was going towards Kasara. Railway officials said that the incident would have occurred due to passengers hanging from the rung of two crowds and their bags, as the two trains were going in the opposite direction of each other.
