God saves Western Railways...

With the construction going on full swing in both Nallasopara & Virar, the other side, commuters are facing lots of inconvenience to commute towards Churchgate early morning. There has been a complete chaos early morning during pick hours. All trains come after a hault at Vasai Road and Nallasopara and so people from both station abroad the local. For a person residing in Virar cannot even enter into the rake when the local becomes Virar-Churchgate Fast. Anyhow he manages to enter the local, he will have to stay in standing position until Mumbai Central or Charni Road when local gets emptied. All the regular passengers would say to their friends,

"BHAU.. YA NA.. 

IKDE BASA NA.... 

BHAU. PUDHE SARAK NA.... 

MI BASLO. BASA TUMI...... ARRE BASA NA."

Superwomen of Bombay

And we cannot even protest them as they are locals and we become weak. There is no planning by Indian railways to control crowd of Western Suburbs. The new bombardier local which was to be started on 26th January has still not come on tracks. There is no further announcement on it. The Churchgate- Virar elevated railway plan has been put on hold. It looks like the plan will be cancelled. The 6th line between Mumbai Central & Borivali where WR was planning to run 10 locals during pick morning & evening hours has been put on hold after slum dweller protest.

The thing is that the condition of people communicating between Virar & Churchgate has become even worse than cattle. Numbers of people die everyday we don't know, their relatives are compensated or not we don't know and when will we meet with an accident, we don't even know. The life is always on the edge and the Western Railway's role is more like a Kumbhkarna who is taking a nap, waiting something to be happened....
