Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 300 angry commuters, mostly office-goers, staged a protest at Mumbai's Virar station on Monday demanding more local trains for the commute. The protestors staged a demonstration after the buses could not reach the bus stands due to heavy traffic.

The Railway Protection Force, Government Railway Police and local police had to pacify the crowd as the unplanned protest created a traffic snarl near the Virar railway station during peak hours in the morning.
