10 commuters die on local trains every day, urgent systemic intervention needed, says HC bench

- Karuna Nidhi

MUMBAI: Eleven days after the Mumbra train incident in which at least five passengers died after falling from overcrowded local trains, the Bombay High Court on Friday termed the state of commuter safety on Mumbai's suburban rail network "alarming" and recommended the installation of automatic doors to help prevent further fatalities.

A division bench comprising chief justice Alok Aradhe and justice Sandeep Marne was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by daily commuter Yatin Jadhav, who highlighted the persistent dangers faced by passengers on the city's lifeline. The court noted that approximately ten commuters die every day on Mumbai's local trains, a statistic it said demanded urgent systemic intervention.
