The back-to-back rail fractures over two days have now raised questions over the maintenance of rail tracks on the line. PIC FOR REPRESENTATION

A day after commuters suffered an hour's delay on the Central Railway (CR) post a rail fracture in Vashi, another one struck yesterday. The fracture occurred between Thakurli and Kalyan at around 7.55am, once again disrupting morning peak hour services. While CR's Mumbai division is already notorious for poor punctuality of locals, the back-to-back rail fractures over two days have now raised questions over the maintenance of rail tracks on the line.
