Mumbai Local Train Tragedy: MNS Rally In Thane Over Fatal Mishap That Killed 4 In Mumbra; Party Demands Accountability & Safety Reforms

Published

on

Thane: A day after four passengers lost their lives falling from an overcrowded local train near Mumbra station, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) launched a protest rally on Tuesday against the railway administration, demanding urgent safety measures and the removal of platform stalls that allegedly contribute to chaotic congestion.

Led by MNS Thane District President Avinash Jadhav, hundreds of party workers marched from Gaondevi area to Thane railway station, shouting slogans against what they termed the ‘negligent and insensitive’ attitude of railway authorities. The demonstration was heavily guarded by police to prevent any law and order disruption.

Holding placards reading ‘Daily deaths, who’s responsible?’, ‘Administration is numb, government is blind,’ and ‘Give justice to the dead, punish the guilty’, the protesters expressed anger over the recurring tragedies on the suburban railway network.

The party highlighted that the curve near Mumbra station, where Monday’s fatal incident occurred, had already been flagged as dangerous three months ago by an MNS worker from Titwala. That worker reportedly lost a leg in a similar accident. “Despite repeated warnings, no action was taken,” said Jadhav, accusing the railway administration of criminal negligence, as quoted by Loksatta.

The protest also featured a sharp warning from MNS: “Remove stalls from railway platforms within eight days or we will take action ourselves.” Jadhav insisted that food and newspaper stalls on platforms severely hinder passenger movement, leading to stampedes and unsafe boarding conditions. “Do we need stalls on already overcrowded platforms, or do we need seating arrangements for senior citizens and the differently-abled?” he asked.

Calling for an overhaul of infrastructure and crowd management, MNS demanded proper cleanliness in station toilets, adequate facilities for commuters, and the deployment of crowd control measures during peak hours.

“Commuters buy return tickets every morning hoping to come back home to their families. But in today’s situation, there’s no guarantee of return. Why should anyone risk their life just to commute?” said Jadhav. “If this continues, people will stop buying return tickets because they won’t be sure they’ll return,” he added.

He concluded with a stern ultimatum: “If the administration does not remove stalls and improve safety, we know how to escalate this further. The railway system cannot keep failing the people every day.”

Mumbai: Controversy over I Love Muhammad banner; tension in Byculla; case filed against Ashfaq David for holding rally without permission

Published

Mumbai: Following the controversy surrounding the “I Love Muhammad” banner in Mumbai, police have filed a case against Ashfaq David for holding an unauthorized rally in Byculla Ghorup Dev. A protest was held yesterday afternoon in Modi Compound with “I Love Muhammad” placards. No police permission was obtained, prompting police to file a case against Ashfaq last night and release him after serving a notice the same night. The case against Ashfaq has been filed for holding an unauthorized rally, but not for writing “I Love Muhammad” (PBUH). Furthermore, attempts are being made to give this matter a religious twist, and communal elements are conspiring to disrupt law and order in Mumbai under the guise of the “I Love Muhammad” banner, which is why police are on high alert. The FIR filed against Ashfaq by Byculla police is registered under sections 223, 37, and 135 of the IPC. Mumbai Police have registered a case under sections 223, 37, and 135 of the I Love Muhammad Act for holding an unauthorized rally as part of the I Love Muhammad movement. This is the first case registered, sparking political debate. AIMIM leader Waris Pathan stated that the case was wrong and could have been filed in an NC case. He added that the police’s action in the I Love Muhammad case is unjustified. “We have the right to protest. No action is taken against those who spread venom against Muslims, but the police immediately file cases against Muslims.” The police have subsequently denied this. This action has angered Muslims, who claim the police are quick to take action against Muslims. The police have since denied this, stating that the case was not filed for displaying the I Love Muhammad banner. There should be no attempt to distort it.
