People crowd at Dombivli railway station to sign the seven-point charter of demands as part of a campaign launched by commuters
Commuters at the Dombivli railway station collected more than 5,000 signatures in support of a seven-point charter of demands as part of a campaign they launched on Tuesday. One of their most important and valid demands is the completion of the 9-km Thane-Diva fifth and sixth railway lines, which have been in works for the past 11 years, with the deadline being revised for the fourth time now to mid-2019.
Speaking to mid-day, Lata Argade, commuter activist, said, "There has been an overwhelming response to the campaign, as most people agreed to the demands. One of the demands is completion of the Thane-Diva railway lines, which will prove to be beneficial for those travelling beyond Thane. The project has been delayed beyond expectations."
