Mumbaikars are used to hearing regular railway announcements about the upcoming stations and even advertisements over the public address system inside the train compartment. However, yesterday a string of ‘vulgar’ sounds were broadcast over the system, much to the embarrassment of commuters.

The incident occurred during morning peak hour, when the local was headed for Churchgate station. While some commuters were amused, others were furious. “A complaint has been made at Grant Road station. We will be carrying out an enquiry into the same,” said Shailendra Kumar, Divisional Railway Manager, Mumbai, Western Railway.
