Mumbai, Dec 17: Mumbai’s morning rush hour was disrupted on Wednesday after an AC fast local train on the Central Railway line failed to open its automatic doors at Dadar station, leaving several commuters stranded inside and forcing them to alight at the next stop, Byculla.
Technical Glitch Cited By Railways
Railway officials attributed the incident to a technical malfunction. “The doors could not be opened due to a technical issue at Dadar,” an official said, adding that the matter was being examined.
Badlapur–CSMT AC Local Involved
The incident involved the 10.42 am Badlapur–Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) AC local. According to passengers, the train halted at Dadar as scheduled, but its automatic doors did not open. Within moments, the train departed, carrying several commuters who were supposed to disembark at one of the city’s busiest stations.
Passengers Miss Commitments
“There were many passengers who had to get down at Dadar. The train stopped normally, but the doors did not open at all and it just left,” said a regular commuter. “The next stop was Byculla, and several people ended up missing important work and personal commitments.”
