In a chilling reminder of Elphinstone station stampede of 2017, there was a small stampede near the ladies compartment at Thane station on Monday morning as Central Railway Mumbai suburban services collapsed following heavy rains.

Eyewitnesses said the incident occurred in morning rush hour on platform 4 for Mumbai CSMT-bound trains around 11:30 am when lady commuters fell down one over the other, leading to a stampede-like situation. Just one constable is seen monitoring the crowd. A Central Railway spokesperson confirmed the incident and said, "It was not a stampede. Just one lady, while getting down from train had slipped and fallen down. Police personnel and others available picked her up and there was no injury. CCTV footages also checked up."
