Mumbai: Monika More, the girl who lost both her hands earlier this month after she fell in a gap at Ghatkopar station, has become the talk of the town at least in political circles. Politicians from the BJP, MNS and NCP on Thursday met Union Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge and cutting across party lines demanded a reduction in the gap between the trains and platforms in Mumbai.

The politicians went to the extent of taking along measurements of the gap between train and platforms, claiming that gaps had become one of the major reasons behind deaths on tracks in the city.
