Women commuters at Diva station staged a rail roko on Thursday morning after allegedly being denied entry into a crowded train compartment. The protest briefly disrupted the services on the Central line.

The incident occurred around 7 am when women at Diva station tried to board the fast local that had arrived from Karjat. The women at the platform allegedly pulled passengers, who were blocking the entry to the compartment, out of the train while many others staged the rail roko. Central Railway officials said the local train was blocked from 7.10am to 7.18am.
