A 65-year-old woman was injured when her saree was caught in the escalator at the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus at Kurla on Thursday. The incident took place at around 12 PM when she was with her husband, and took the escalator on platform number 1. She was identified as Katwari Devi who was going to her native place in Uttar Pradesh by the Pawan Express.

According to the railway officials, she was asked by the escalator operator to not use it, and instead, go by an elevator which is exclusively for senior citizens. But she was furious and insisted on using the escalator. Officials said she was very uncomfortable when she went on the escalator, but when she reached the top, her saree got stuck between two steps, and her leg was caught as well.
