Mumbra resident Aslan Ansari (19), who worked with a gas cylinder company in Kalwa, reportedly lost his balance and died after falling on the tracks between Mumbra and Kalwa around 8.45am. His neighbour informed TOI that he left home around 8.30am for work. "We had dinner together on Monday and I couldn't believe it when I heard of his death this morning," said the neighbour. "He must have fallen down due to overcrowding. He was found near pole number 37/12-13 near Mumbra," informed head constable Ramesh Yewle of Kalwa GRP, who picked up Ansari's body from the tracks.
Another Mumbra resident, Moin Shaikh (22), left for his Thane office around 8.45am but his family received a call from the police a while later saying he had fallen off the train. He was admitted to the civil hospital and later shifted to Sion Hospital, where he is still in a critical condition, said his uncle Qaid Ahmed.
The GRP registered cases for both mishaps. The third incident, which was yet to be registered by the police, involved a youth identified as Mohd Ashraf Khan (21), who also fell on the tracks between Mumbra and Kalwa at around 9.15am. However, he had not suffered any major injuries and was taken to hospital by some locals. "An injured commuter was admitted to our hospital from where was referred to Sion Hospital in the morning," said an official from Kalwa hospital.
Interestingly, the railways denied any information of these accidents even late in the evening. "There are some rumours doing the rounds about such mishaps. We have not been informed of any such accidents by the GRP. The police normally keep the station authorities informed who then issue a memo to attend to the victims," said Atul Rane, CPRO of Central Railway.
But J Pawar, ACP with the GRP's Thane division, denied his men would have acted against the prescribed norms. "There could be a delay in registering cases but we always follow the procedure and inform the railways," he said. Moreover, head constable Yewle, who picked up Ansari's body from the accident spot, claimed he had been issued a memo from the Kalwa station authorities.
Commuters say more services are required on the stretch between Kalyan and Mumbra. "Though there is a train every five minutes, it is inadequate," said Ramesh Joshi, a commuter from Badlapur who travels daily to Thane. "The 15-car rakes should be immediately introduced on this stretch at least during peak hours. Commuter density at stations like Mumbra and Kalwa has increased manifold," said Nandkumar Deshmukh, a railway activist from Thane.
"We have to always travel in the opposite direction till Dombivli to board a train for CST during peak hours. The railways should ensure intermediate stations also get adequate train services," said Imran Shaikh, a resident of Mumbra.
